death of a street hustler: RISE OF BLACK MANHOOD
As a young man growing up in the streets of Indianapolis, Indiana and Atlanta, Georgia Elbert Lee Frazier learned the hustle game early on - hustle to get ahead, hustle to thrive, hustle to survive. Despite a strong-willed mother who worked tirelessly to get him to tap into his potential, and a hard-nosed father determined to beat him onto a straight and narrow path.... it would be the streets where Elbert would get his education.
Told in three stages, book ; DEATH OF A STREET HUSTLER is a riveting coming of age autobiography about an Urban African-American boy's journey from maleHOOD 2 manHOOD.
Book 3 DEATH OF A STREET HUSTLER: Rise of Black ManHOOD takes a critical and introspective look into ideals and ideas surrounding Black maleness and Black manhood. Hip-hop culture, urban life, African-American culture, spirituality, racism, fatherhood, classism, sexism, and ideology/politics are explored as Elbert navigates a path that re-awakens the Black manHOOD within him.
This remarkable story of Elbert Lee Frazier, now known as Jihad Uhuru, as he moves from maleHOOD to manHOOD, will guide you into a better understanding of the African-American male psyche and the psychic trauma that many males face growing up, or growing down, in America today. People from all walks of life will be inspired by how Jihad went from a bully who embraced the Street Life, reformed himself in his Penitentiary Life and is now enlightening others through Academic Life as an Africana Studies University professor. Jihad has condensed forty years of hard-learned lessons on growing into manHOOD, into three page turning books and 45 minute to 1 hour podcasts that will entertain, educate and most importantly, AWAKEN the royalty in us all.
