Synopsis

The godfather of urban lit, Donald Goines knows life on the streets is a one-way ticket to life behind bars, where suffering is the one and only daily bread. For the first time in over a decade, his classic White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief is now repackaged and reissued in trade with a whole new look to attract new listeners, as well as long-time fans of the legend himself.

Barely out of his twenties, Chester Hines knows the score. He's just another bug crawling through the streets of Detroit, waiting to be squashed under the heel of a system meant to keep a brother down. But with his old lady on his back, his only options are on the wrong side of the law. He didn't need a fortune-teller to tell him that sooner or later he'd end up in a system more brutal than the one that forced him there.

Prison life is raw. But it's the only life Chester's got. Against all odds, he and his crew will forge a brotherhood in hell. Together they'll scratch and claw their way day by day, suffering unimaginable abuse, betrayal, and pure, uncut hopelessness—or die trying.

Goodreads review by Richard on May 07, 2021

Was hooked by this right from the start. Doesn't have a lot of set-up and just drops you right in the deep end. From reading Dopefiend, Black Girl Lost, Whoreson and now this, Goines had a talent for taking really grim, intense situations that were a part of his life and translating them to books th......more

Goodreads review by Tamyka on March 05, 2023

I’m about to read it again so I can give it a proper review. I’m partial. I’ve been reading Goines for a very long time so I can’t rate objectively based off a first read cause it’s already preferred by me based off my love of the author.......more
