DESCRIPTION

Former Detroit Free Press O Street columnist Oneita Jackson launches the complete edition of her acclaimed nonfiction satirical book: Nappy-Headed Negro Syndrome.

International best selling novelist Dave Eggers (The Circle, A Heart-Breaking Work of Staggering Genius) says the book about identity, judgement, and assumptions-unconscious bias-type stuff— is “damned funny, scalpel-sharp, and moves like a rocket.”

With her over-the-top personality and unique vision of humanity, Oneita approaches controversial topics deftly.
