Why read it?
1 author picked White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was the first book I read about street culture. It was real. It was graphic. It was intense. I could relate. Goines is known for capturing the urban struggles and the challenges of young men and women growing up in the ghettos. The main character Chester Hines gets caught up in one bad decision after another until he ends up in jail trying to survive. It’s a fantastic story and Goines himself is a classic storyteller who paved the way for endless black authors to pen their street-life experiences.
From Omar's list on sexy, suspenseful urban inspired crime.
