Dr. Nandi S. Crosby currently works as a Professor of Sociology and Multicultural Studies. If My Soul Be Lost chronicles her experiences coming of age struggles in Baltimore. The author discusses how she emerged as a scholar, activist, and writer. As a seasoned African American sociologist from the lower working class, she was able to unabashedly link the politics of sex, race, and power to generate this compelling story, presented with the verve of written-for-stage poetry.
a series of essays on being a Black woman, living in the ghetto, femenism, women's studies and male/female relationships. a very honest and serious work. i have thouroughly enjoyed Dr. Crosby's essays. i look forward to reading more of her work.
