Satisfied with Nothin': No Series

Autor Ernest Hill
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 apr 2016
This is the story of Jamie Ray Griffin, a young black man who, by virtue of his talent on the football field, finds himself suddenly thrust into a white world full of privilege, temptation, and never-before-imagined possibility. Encouraged by the facade of acceptance from the white community, Jamie strives to succeed, but finds himself thwarted at every turn -- by whites and blacks alike.

Satisfied with Nothin' chronicles Jamie's development from a naive, unsophisticated teen to a hard-driving, cynical adult determined to succeed despite the opposition of whites, the complacency of blacks, and his own tragic fate. In doing so, it provides a powerful and important portrait of the black experience in post-segregation America.

Descriere

In this novel, Hill chronicles the transformation of an African-American youth--"a long-awaited incarnation of Richard Wright's Bigger Thomas" ("Baltimore Sun")--from a naive athlete to a college football star at a newly integrated college to a hard-driving, cynical adult determined to succeed despite the opposition of whites and the complacency of blacks.
