by Flatiron Books I read Stallworth's text because of an interest in Spike Lee's film, but had to put Stallworth's book down because of my objection to its reactionary political orientation. I consider Ron Stallworth courageous for his work in the police force at that time. Stallworth may not be the most gripping writer in the world - and I don't think he is trying to be - but he tells a story everyone should read.This was an interesting story. This heartfelt and achingly real volume about power and racism in the USA makes for compelling reading, and even though it was written by a lawman (not a career journalist), any lack of suavity is more than made up for by narrative intensity and sheer emotional power, qualities Spike Lee must surely have recognized when he made this story into a movie.
Black Klansman book. Stallworth decided to ride that off pony as long as he could, and the results wound up here in this volume, BLACK KLANSMAN. There are no solutions given. He launched an undercover investigation into the Klan, gained membership into the organization, briefly served as Duke's bodyguard, and was eventually aIn 1978 the community of Colorado Springs, Colorado experienced a growth of Ku Klux Klan (KKK) membership. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. In many ways it's purely farcical!I will now see the much lauded Spike Lee film based on this book.
The only downside is that several pieces of information are repeated a few times in the book, so if it gets another edition I would recommend some editing.Reminds me of how the fight was on long before now.
The description says it is drama, not comedy, but given Lee's reputation, I would not be surprised if it capitalized on the inherent humor of the situation that gets highlighted in the book. If you take away the fear of the Klan, then it loses its power.
There's a great story here, it's just that it was boring, I didn't quite like the way the author came across, and I had a hard time getting through some parts of this. If you haven't I encourage you to do so now. In order to READ Online or Download Black Klansman ebooks in PDF, ePUB, Tuebl and Mobi format, you need to create a FREE account. We’d love your help. It also raises hope in that the anti-Klan demonstrations these days are much more powerful than in the time of this investigation. Of course, it was because of Detective Stallworth, as a black man, infiltrating the KKK. BlacKkKlansman (2018) Written byCharlie Wachtel, David Rabinowitz, Kevin Willmott, Spike Lee, and Ron Stallworth. The book is fascinating. This heartfelt and achingly real volume about poNearly sixty years ago a white journalist, John Howard Griffin, disguised himself as a black Southerner, and the treatment he received resulted in BLACK LIKE ME. Stallworth's wishy-washy memoir of an uneventful undercover investigation is better suited for a dinner-party anecdote than a published book.
Stallworth decided to ride that off pony as long as he could, and the results wound up here in this volume, BLACK KLANSMAN. Sad in 2020 it’s still an issue.Interesting look into the Klan from a black police officer's POV. There were so many abbreviated groups that after a while I stopped caring which group was on what side. It's a true story about a black undercover cop who infiltrates the local KKK over the phone. As an African American and mother of a son I take the moments 0f benign hatred and violence personally. Overall, it is an easy and fun read. The movie is based on the 2014 memoir Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth. In many ways it's purely farcical!What a story!! Roughly twenty years later a black Colorado policeman, Ron Stallworth, was on the receiving end of a Klan recruitment push by someone who had never laid eyes on him.
I'm glad somebody protects us from terrorist. I also hated how every so often the author had to remind the reader how he was the one in charge of the investigation by parenthesizing that hi, just in answer to what you said about why his partner was not credited....it appears that he is not actually named for safety reasons. The book is fascinating.
I'm going to search for the film now.Ronell Eugene Stallworth is an American retired police officer who infiltrated the ranks of the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado Springs in the late 1970s.
Lee's film is pretty good so I decided to finish the book, but I found myself disappointed.
As an African American and mother of a son I take the moments 0f benign hatred and violence personally. I consider him a hero for sharing his story. Black Klansman explains how he overcame these obstacles and accomplished this almost unbelievable unique achievement.
The movie stars John David Washington as Stallworth, along with Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace.
June 5th 2018 Grab the popcorn and immerse yourself in some of the big screen's most popular adaptations on audiobook. A black police detective from Colorado Springs really did manage to infiltrate the KKK in 1978. This book (coupled with a few other profiles of read of the klan and white supremacist groups) makes me realize that "they're all a bunch of dumb clowns," as Stallworth overhears. I'm pleased that I read it!A fascinating story that made for a medicore storytelling experience. I am reading this book and Between the World and me. This book (coupled with a few other profiles of read of the klan and white supremacist groups) makes me realize that "they're all a bunch of dumb clowns," as Stallworth overhears.
The partner was the one who actually met thise bigots in the flesh so...little dangerous.It's a great story, not the most exceptional writing. What would this do to Duke's White supremacist image with his neo-nazi type fans, followers, future voters and fellow Klan members!I wanted to like this book.
