Praise for this book

"Smart, entertaining and moving as it grapples with the tensions between past and present... while asking penetrating questions about the nature of liberation... Morisseau's script, sings with intelligence." - Guardian

"[A] well-crafted tale of a former Black Power revolutionary struggling to cope with the fallout from the dream... Morisseau offers a soulful elegy for a movement" - Time Out (London)

"Capable of capturing the rhythm and demotic speech of the street, Morisseau is an obvious talent with a flair for the incendiary monologue" - The Stage
