      abstract = {One of the most remarkable autobiographies of our time,  Manchild in the Promised Land is a seminal work of modern  literature published during a literary era marked by the  ascendance of black writers. This thinly fictionalized  account of Claude Brown's childhood as a hardened,  streetwise criminal trying to survive the toughest streets  of Harlem has been heralded as the definitive account of  everyday life for African Americans raised in the northern  ghettos of the 1940s and '50s. When the book was first  published in 1965, it was praised for its realistic  portrayal of Harlem--the children, young people, and  hardworking parents; the hustlers, drug dealers,  prostitutes, and numbers runners; the police; the violence,  sex, and humor. The book continues to resonate generations  later, not only because of its fierce and dignified anger,  not only because the struggles of urban youth are as deeply  felt today as they were in Brown's time, but also because  of its inspiring message.},
