Ethiopian Stories (Northeastern Library of Black Literature) Reviews
-
For historical purposes--an action mystery of the 1930's. Wisecracking, faux-street lingo, manly men. But written by a black writer for a black audience. The heroes fight to help free Ethiopia from the fascist Italians. They live with racism. Interesting, not gripping. With a long scholarly intro. Found it browsing at Moe's in Berkeley.

decided to read this after finishing "black no more". it is a straight murder mystery and also an adventure tale both with ethiopia/italy geopolitics as a back drop.
don't look for satire or exposition on race and you may enjoy it. I couldn't wait to finish it so I could move on to something else.
