Forget everything you know about what is cool. In this
provocative book the author examines an important phenomenon that is often
overlooked or, worse, dismissed as rebelliousness. Cool has it's roots in the
Black community of America, and it plays an important role in shaping a
definition of manhood for young Black boys, based on the significant obstacles
the male child finds in his community.
