CONVICTED IN WOMB(ISBN=9780553375206) 英文原版 rtf 下载 2025 kindle mobi lrf 极速 pdf

Being black is an inheritance. Being a nigger is a state of

mind. Born in a roach-infested tenement in South Philadelphia, on

the streets by age four, a gang member by age nine, and in reform

school by age twelve, Carl Upchurch's life epitomized the tragedy

of inner-city America. Incarcerated for the sixth time, he was

confined to solitary with only a table and chair for company.

Propping up the leg of one table was a book, which, out of sheer

boredom, he picked up and read: Shakespeare's Sonnets. So began his

transformation from a hopeless hoodlum, lacking respect for

himself, for others, for human life in general, to a self-educated

advocate for urban peace and justice.

Convicted in the Womb is the story of how Carl Upchurch overcame

his abject youth to become a radical civil rights activist,

culminating in his organizing the first Gang Summit for Urban Peace

and Justice in Kansas City. It is also an urgent call for change.

Outspoken in his criticism of Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, and other

icons of the established civil rights movement., Upchurch argues

that it's time for a new generation of leaders, drawn from the

masses, not the elite. He also outlines a grassroots New Black

Power Paradigm to overcome America's political, economic, and

athletic apartheid.

媒体评论

This is not another sad personal litany of crime, drugs,

violence and misery in the 'hood.'  This is an inspiring

personal litany of human renewal and

accomplishment.  Upchurch gives us hope that we can

change society.

-- Dr. Earl Ofari Hutchinson author of

The Assassination of the

Black Male Image

"

Convicted in the Womb

by Carl Upchurch was a painful book

for me to read, but I know what he says is fact for too many

America's children.  It should be read by every

individual who has ever doubted the value and importance of early

childhood education, cares about children and the future of our

society."

-- Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Arkansas Children's Hospital

"A provocative memoir of life as an enemy of society--Upchurch has

become a thinker and social critic well worth paying attention

to."

--Kirkus Reviews --
