Description

Fortunately, I had always been a very good basketball player. Though I never sounded like the guys I played with in the streets, I had de-facto street cred because I could play at a high level. But I was never completely like those with whom I played basketball. No more than I ever was completely like the mostly white faces that comprised the white academic world I also called home. All my life I've been a black man fighting for my identity and this is my story. "With his fearless foray into the depths of his feelings as a black man trying to navigate a white man's world, John Hollis has courageously written a disturbing expose of the self-doubt that haunts the souls of blacks who have found personal success in an America still plagued by racism." -Elaine Brown, former chairwoman of the Black Panther Party, and author of A Taste of Power: A Black Woman's Story and The Condemnation of Little B: New Age Racism in America. Author Bio: John D. Hollis has lived in both the black and white worlds, but often felt like less than a full-fledged member of either. Although his journey hasn't been easy, he's managed to be successful in both worlds and blessed with many close friends, both black and white. Although this is his first book, John has worked as a newspaper reporter for 17 years, 15 of which were as a sportswriter. He resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife, Regina, and their four-year-old-son, Davis.
