A New York Times Best Seller! Searing Dispatches from the Urban Zones Where African American Men Have Become an Endangered Species To many in the age of Obama; America had succeeded in “going beyond race;” putting the divisions of the past behind us. And then seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot by a wannabe cop in Florida; and then eighteen-year-old Michael Brown in Ferguson; Missouri; and then Baltimore blew up; and then gunfire shattered a prayer meeting at a church in Charleston; South Carolina. Suddenly the entire country awakened to a stark fact: African Americans—particularly young black men—are an endangered species. Now the country’s urban war zone is brought powerfully to life by a rising young literary talent; D. Watkins. The author fought his way up on the east side (the “beast side”) of Baltimore; Maryland—or “Bodymore; Murderland;” as his friends call it—surviving murderous business rivals in the drug trade and equally predatory lawmen. Throughout it all; he pursued his education; earning a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University; while staying rooted in his community. When black residents of Baltimore finally decided they had had enough—after the brutal killing of twenty-five-year-old Freddie Gray while in police custody—Watkins was on the streets when the city erupted. He writes about his bleeding hometown with the razor-sharp insights of someone who bleeds along with it. Here are true dispatches from the other side of America.
