Manchild in the Promised Land
Preview: Hear it

During his first year at Howard University, Claude Brown wrote an article for the magazine Dissent about growing up in Harlem. The piece attracted the attention of a publisher, who encouraged him to write his autobiography. The result, Manchild in the Promised Land, traces Claude Browns own transformation from a hardened, streetwise young criminal to a successful, selfmade man.This autobiographical novel, in print for more than thirty years, has been widely praised for its portrayal of the lost generation of AfricanAmericans whose parents left the sharecropping lifestyle of the South for the crowded inner cities of the North.
