From The Dark Side is a book about how life in america is viewed from the paradigm of "the darker brother."
A. Shakur Towns uses poetry and short stories to give a report on being black in the post-slavery, post-reconstruction, post-civil rights and post-911 urban community.
More than just samples of flowery words and prose, the book reads like a survival manual for sanity!
"I like to think of my writing as antidote to plantation psychosis, or at least an assessment of our present condition as descendants of enslaved africans."
From The Dark Side gives us a painful, angry, love-based, and oft times funny glimpse into what being a black man REALLY feels like.
