by Jam Donaldson:
Refreshingly honest and provocative, Conversate Is Not a Word calls for dramatic changes within African American communities
“[T]his book will serve as a proper introduction to a great voice in the Black American Culture Wars. Let’s conversate.”—Reginald Hudlin, producer/writer/director, House Party, Boomerang and Black Panther
CHICAGO: Outspoken, smart and armed with a razor-sharp wit, in Conversate Is Not a Word: Getting Away from Ghetto (Lawrence Hill Books, an imprint of Chicago Review Press, February 2010) author Jam Donaldson holds up a mirror to ghetto culture and confronts the social ills of black urban society.
Providing a unique and multifaceted approach, Conversate Is Not a Word encourages honest conversations within the community. With chapters such as “‘Ghetto Fabulous’ Is an Oxymoron,” “Call the Mayor, Then Pick Up the Trash Yourself: Trash as Caste?” and “If You’re Gonna Hang on the Corner All Day, Take a Book (Mitigate Your Damages),” Donaldson is explicit in her observations and solutions.
