Tonight, a young black man is lying unconscious in a Washington state hospital. 26-year-old DaShawn Horne was taken to the ER after being struck in the head repeatedly by an aluminum baseball bat.

William is not the only character who denies the preconceived image of his heritage, Fekadu also does this. Initially, Fekadu seems to fit the stereotype of a African American taxi driver; however, there is much more to his story.…

The characterization of the central characters my favorite aspect of the novel. They create a compelling read propelled in part by the failure of Will Graham as a conventional protagonist but also by the allure of two distinctly monsters each with their own agenda.…

The formation of British cultural studies coincided with the break in the European communist movement. Much like Marxism they were chiefly interested in power structures and the forces of domination and resistance. It is a common misconception…
