About This Item
New York: Harper Collins, 1997. Small 8vo size trade paperback; 262 pages. From fep: "A deeply thoughtful and important collection of essays from 12 eminent African American writers, scholars, and legal professionals on the often-divided loyalties of blacks working in the "white man's system." For many Americans the O.J. Simpson trial brought home the sometimes stark differences in whites' and blacks' perceptions of American justice. It also highlighted the painful dilemma of black prosecutors like Christopher Darden, who was labeled an Uncle Tom for trying to put a black icon in jail. (This book) explores this divided loyalty both inside and outside the justice system - from the black juror who wonders if she can put one more black man in jail for a petty crime to the black professional who is disparaged from becoming 'too white'." The authors are: Paul Butler Betty DeRamus Stanley Crouch Ellis Cose Marcia Ann Gillespie Elijah Anderson Andrea Ford Clarence Page Anita Hill George E. Curry Wade Henderson Roger Wilkins Red cardstock cover is unique to the Proof and features some information about the finished book. The fep (quoted in part, above) is an overview of the book's content. The Table of Contents page is also incomplete and unique content to the Proof. Very lightly bumped bottom corner of some pages. There are some creases near spine area on front and back covers which are the result of how this book was bound and are not indicative of damage. Very light soil on back cover.
