Recensione
Judith Newman The New York Times Book Review Our America is meant to stir the mind and break the heart, and it does just that.
Louise Kiernan Chicago Tribune Heart-cracking power....Our America stands out because its voices spill out virtually unrestrained -- raw, ugly and eloquent.
D. Cooper Philadelphia Inquirer A remarkable book....Jones and Newman present observations that draw empathy and surprise.
General Colin L. Powell LeAlan Jones and Lloyd Newman have told us a story that should tear at our hearts. They speak of a 'different America.' One where crime, drugs, lack of jobs, and every imaginable social ill work to break the human spirit. Some youngsters rise above it, but too many of them don't have a chance. They are trapped. Read this moving chronicle and resolve to help a young person in need in your community to believe in the American dream.
Frank McCourt Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angela's Ashes You won't reach the last page of Our America without wondering what country this book is about. The young authors, LeAlan Jones and Lloyd Newman, have given us dispatches from hell, bleak and numbing as anything from Vietnam. You despair of the waste of young lives but hope that at least two will be saved: the sensitive and perceptive young Jones and Newman. We rage and pray for them and their generation.
