Living Black breaks the stereotype of poor African American neighborhoods as dysfunctional ghettos of helpless and hopeless people. Despite real and enduring poverty, the community described herethe historic North End of Champaign, Illinoishas a vibrant social life and strong ties among generations. But it operates on its own nonjudgmental termsteen moms arent derided, school dropouts arent ridiculed, and parolees and excons arent scorned.Mark S. Fleisher offers a window into daily life in this neighborhood, particularly through the stories of Mo and Memphis Washington, who fight to sustain a stable home for their children, and of Burpee, a local man who has returned to the North End to rebuild his life after years of crime and punishment in Chicago.Outstanding books for public & secondary school libraries from university presses, American Library Association
