Piri
Thomas
Thirty
years ago, Piri Thomas made literary history with this lacerating,
lyrical memoir of his coming of age on the streets of Spanish Harlem.
Here was the testament of a born outsider: a Puerto Rican in English-speaking
America; a dark-skinned morenito in a family that refused to acknowledge
its African blood. Includes a new afterword by the author and a
glossary.
