The Coldest Winter Ever, Sister Souljah, and Urban Lit

I began working on this script about The Coldest Winter Ever, Sister Souljah, black literacy, and the history of black urban literature months ago so I was pleasantly surprised to learn that a sequel to this bestselling novel is dropping in 2021. In this video, I do a deep dive into the book and the woman who wrote it, while putting her narrative into generational context! I also discuss the early beginnings of urban literature (Claude McCay, Chester Himes, Donald Goines, Iceberg Slim, etc) and discuss life in the 90s. Life After Death, Sister Souljah, Winter Santiaga.
