An award-winning journalist and cultural commentator offers a provocative study of the influence of "ghetto" attitudes, lifestyles, and mores on urban communities and American culture, in a thoughtful critique of a persona that is demeaning to women, devalues education, celebrates the worst African-American stereotypes, and provokes the destruction of civil peace. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.

Infused with humor and entertaining asides—including lists of events and people that the author nominates for the Ghetto Hall of Fame, and a short section written entirely in ghetto slang— Ghettonation is a timely and engrossing report on a controversial social phenomenon. Like Bill Cosby‘s infamous, much-discussed comments about the problems within the Black community today, it is sure to trigger widespread interest and heated debate.
