Description

Born into a long line of uncle Toms - including an ancestor who escaped into slavery and a relative who set up Malcolm X - Gunnar Kaufman grew up doing the perfect white boy shuffle in Santa Monica. Now the street-stupid kid has to learn - and fast - how to survive the hard-line homeboys of inner-city LA, in one of the funniest, funkiest books for years.
