One of the books assigned this semester is titled “Makes Me Wanna Holler," it is an autobiographical depiction of Nate McCall struggle with living in an oppressed culture. I found the readings to be very interesting and really compliment our class discussions surrounding deviance. I have almost completed the book as it is a great and interesting read and what I can conclude is that McCall seems to be angered by being a black man in a white mans world and that anger leads to acts of deviances that include violence, gang participation, theft, the use of drugs and alcohol, and prison. My favorite chapter so far was seven and it was titled “Respect”. The chapter expressed concerns pertains to “black folks having a serious thing about respect”.
