J. Simpson trial, the Clarence Thomas hearings, and the Million Man March, Hutchinson brilliantly counters the image of the black male as a figure entrenched in crime, drugs, and violence. At the same time, he issues a deeply moving call to rethink the way we view African American men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Earl Ofari Hutchinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0684836572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684836577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.52w x 0.51d","brand":"Earl Ofari Hutchinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045171753215,"sku":"9780684836577","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c5ff837-d15a-47e7-8440-7be08fe4a39a.jpg?v=1684977160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-assassination-of-the-black-earl-ofari-hutchinson-9780684836577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
