“With wit and wisdom, [Daniels] explores and exposes the ghetto
‘mindset’ that demeans women, devalues education, ridicules proper
English, celebrates criminality, discards traditional parenthood,
and celebrates tacky fashion. Yet Ms. Daniels writes with an
undertone of love. She softens the inevitable ‘elitist’ label that
some critics have pinned on Bill Cosby by spreading the blame. At a
time of great national argument over who is to blame for poverty,
racism, or bad habits, Ms. Daniels reveals that society can be
blamed.” —Clarence Page, Baltimore Sun
“Daniels widens the scope in a way that is blunt, personal, and
challenging.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Cheeky, heartfelt, and hip. Daniels’s casual, extemporaneous tone
keeps this sophisticated work accessible to a wide audience…”
—Publishers Weekly
“Daniels’s is a sobering critique that should be understood by
every American.” —Steve Goddard’s History Wire
“Rather brilliantly, what [Daniels] describes as ‘ghetto’ behavior
and thought is not color-coded . . . That such a brave and
unflinching book could be written by a black woman in this time is
quite inspiring.” —Stanley Crouch, New York Daily News
