From Publishers Weekly:
Black people "shout," claims Sports Illustrated writer Wiley ( Serenity ), when their contained emotions--inner joy, pain, anger, confusion or frustration-- fight for expression and finally break out. All told, Wiley, who is black, shows there is reason enough for African-Americans to experience such tumultuous feelings. In discussions of work and business, aesthetics, public personalities and travel, he turns a perceptive eye on the black experience in contemporary America, from the virulent hatred of a David Dukes to black-on-black racism. The book certainly will provoke controversy--not the least its sections on culture; like many black males, Wiley disapproves of the politics of Alice Walker, but his belief that she is a mediocre writer certainly is debatable, as is his opinion that rap music meets the standards of jazz. The author's points are scored with skill and force.

From Library Journal:
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Wiley, a senior writer for Sports Illustrated , offers his opinions and observations on a variety of current concerns affecting black Americans. He discusses such topics as racism, AIDS, politicians, television, the South, IQ tests, culture, food, and athletics. He also profiles Michael Jackson, Meadowlark Lemon, Marion Barry, Jesse Jackson, and other noted black people. His essays offer brief lessons in literature, history, and sociology; especially provocative is his attack on the depiction of black men in Alice Walker's The Color Purple . Wiley's thought-provoking work is filled with amusing anecdotes and controversial commentaries that may help to dispel many misconceptions about black Americans. Recommended for public and academic libraries.
