Do Platanos Go Wit' Collard Greens?

Summary: BAD BOOK! BAD BOOK!
Review: I could not believe the format and content of this book when I requested it from NU's library. How did it get published? There are so many typos and it was badly written; it's an insult to refer to this material as a book, let alone allow it to represent Black/Latino life. Please attend workshops in creative writing, take courses at your local university, read other literature, something, but don't publish anymore!

Summary: Excellent story about black/latino lives in the inner city
Review: It's a great story that reads like urban hip hop prose. Richard Lamb is an excellent author that captures inner city life like a movie

Summary: Great book
Review: This book is a great book that deals with Latino and Black relations. It addresses many issues that these two groups face in their communities and in our society. David Lamb accomplishes this with a lyrical prose familiar to today's urban youth. By embracing this emerging group of individuals. Lamb raises many issues such as race relations and the notion of "blackness." I had the opportunity to meet the author and he is an amazing man. He made me think about issues in our society on a deeper level and from a different angle.
