Manchild in the promised land is indeed one of the most remarkable autobiographies of our time. This thinly fictionalized account of Claude Brown’s childhood as a harden, streetwise crimmal trying to survive the toughest streets of Harlem has been heralded as the definitive account of everyday life for the fist generation of African Americans raised in the Northern ghettos of the 1940’s and 1950’s.
