About This Item
Denton, Texas, U.S.A.: Univ of North Texas Pr, 1993. Brand new book, still sealed in publisher's shrink wrap. From Library Journal A black man's struggles from the Thirties through the Seventies provide the focus for this collection of essays, articles, fiction, and poetry. Jackson died in 1985 before most of his writing could be published; this volume, with its accounts of army life during the early days of integration, shows the power and clarity that characterize his work. As a charter member of the Watts Writers Workshop, Jackson gained the attention and respect of Budd Schulberg for the stories of his childhood in Houston and his service in the army. A high school dropout, Jackson dedicated his life to writing, a habit that kept him in poverty; he worked at odd jobs until his death at age 59. This book, full of energy and conviction, is a timely and important addition to American writing. It reminds readers of discrimination's pain and of those caught in its terrible cruelty. - Nancy R. Ives, SUNY at Geneseo Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. . Not Indicated. Soft Cover. New.
