HTML:<b>"A story of surviving and thriving with passion, compassion, wit, and style."—Maya Angelou</b><br /> <br /> <b>"In America, we have a tradition of black writers whose autobiographies and memoirs come to define an era. . . . <i>Buck</i> may be this generation's story."—NPR</b><br /> <br /> A coming-of-age story about navigating the wilds of urban America and the shrapnel of a self-destructing family, <i>Buck</i> shares the story of a generation through one original and riveting voice. MK Asante was born in Zimbabwe to American parents: his mother a dancer, his father a revered professor. But as a teenager, MK was alone on the streets of North Philadelphia, swept up in a world of drugs, sex, and violence.<br /> <br /> MK's memoir is an unforgettable tale of how one precocious, confused kid educated himself through gangs, rap, mystic cults, ghetto philosophy, and, eventually, books. It is an inspiring tribute to the power of literature to heal and redeem us. Media Type: eBook.
