The Devil You Know: Stories of Human Cruelty and Compassion (The Sunday Times Bestseller)

Product Information

Unbeknownst to Tatum, Cooper has been attracted to Tatum for a while but hasn't acted on it because she's been on the "do not touch" list by his best friend and Tatum's brother. This was my first time reading this author, and since I love brothers best friend, i couldn't wait to start reading!

The Washington Post had a fairly critical review, unlike my feelings about the book, but this line stuck with me, "As intriguing as the proposal itself is why Blow feels compelled to make it.He says that he will never excuse the South, but ‘essentially) ‘really, have you seen how bad the North is’ (there’s a set of this around page 60)?

Charles Blow makes a great case in Devil You Know for reverse migration and resettlement in southern states to improve black political power and quality of life as well as strengthening culture and sense of well being. It's completely my own pet-peeve and I'm probably the only one that even feels that way but the social media aspect was very heavy in this book. Same can be said with large segments of the Latino and Asian communities in that they're steeped in anti-Blackness.

If someone were to read this is the far future they’d probably be confused as if the younger generation were reading about MySpace for example. Dr Gwen Adshead, a forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist who has worked at Broadmoor, the secure psychiatric hospital where some of the UK’s most notorious criminals are detained, knows this. Blacks have made footprints in political offices, however until the Movement of Stacey Abrams in Atlanta, blacks hadn't made critical political affects (Presidential) in decades.
