Produktbeschreibung

'A biting social satire.' Daily Express

The Nigger Factory is a scornful statement about the way in which human beings are conditioned to think.

On the campus of Sutton University, Virginia, the students are trying to carry forth the message of reconstruction to
a university resistant to change. The failure of Sutton to embrace the changing attitudes of the sixties has necessitated extreme action and the revolution is nigh.

'Gil Scott-Heron has always affected people.' Guardian

'[Gil Scott-Heron] has been committed to examining those facts of the human condition that most of us would rather forget . . . he is an artist who has crafted witty but crucial insights for Black America.' Washington Post
