{"product_id":"too-black-too-strong-9781852245542","title":"Too Black, Too Strong","description":"Too Black Too Strong is Benjamin Zephaniah's third collection from Bloodaxe. It addresses the struggles of black Britain more forcefully than all his previous books. With poems like 'Chant of a Homesick Nigga' and 'Kill Them Before Ramadan', he shows that he's a poet who won't stay silent, who doesn't pull any punches, writing out of a sense of urgency and a commitment to social justice. He opens this hard-hitting and blackly funny book of poems with an outspoken comment on where he's coming from, setting his poetry against the political landscape of Britain. The book includes poems written while working with Michael Mansfield QC and other Tooks barristers on the Stephen Lawrence case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloodaxe Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852245542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2001 pg. 714\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Benjamin Zephaniah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43397756911797,"sku":"9781852245542","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1b968d32-ebcc-46e6-9e32-8414beffadfe.jpg?v=1702393766","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/too-black-too-strong-9781852245542","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
