Lessons from the Damned: Class Struggle in the Black Community

1990 reprint of a book originally published in 1973, this is a collection of essays "written by a large number of poor and petit-bourgeois black people - the damned - poor students, poor unemployed young women and men (the street bloods), workers in low-paying dead-end jobs, and women welfare recipients... This book may be the first time that poor and petit-bourgeois black people have described the full reality of our oppression and our struggle." quote from the introduction.
