Narration As Books The Nigger Factory

the nigger factory, published in 1972, is gil scott-heron’s second novel. altogether different from his first work, the vulture, the nigger factory relays the tale of campus unrest at the fictional sutton university, a black college in virginia. more overtly political than his previous novel, this story is the result of scott-heron’s obvious frustration with the american higher education system. in the author’s note that precedes the text, he writes, “change is overdue. fantasies about the american dream are now recognized by black people as hoaxes… a college diploma is not a ticket on the freedom train. it is, at best, an opportunity to learn about the systems that control life and destroy life: an opportunity to cut through the hypocrisy and illusion that america represents. new educational aspects must be discovered… the main trouble in higher education lies in the fact that while the times have changed radically, educators and administrators have continued to plod along through the bureaucratic red tape that stalls so much american progress.”

whereas the nigger factory is perhaps more predictable than the vulture, it is possessed by a far greater urgency and sense of purpose. at no point does scott-heron delve into proselytizing, instead he merely offers an all too realistic scenario of what happens when a progressive, dynamic force for change confronts an unyielding, entrenched power system. this book is a fascinating exploration of a turbulent period, but also of an ongoing struggle yet to find resolution. gil scott-heron’s observations are keen, his storytelling ability well developed, and his sense of justice carefully considered.

with canongate books republishing both the vulture and the nigger factory this year and a new album due out in february (i’m new here), the godfather of rap, and his art, ought to be enjoying a well-deserved resurgence in popularity.

Write-Up Out Of Books The Nigger Factory
Cesur bir kitap, edebi olarak vasat ve karakter derinliği neredeyse hiç olmadada, verdiği mesaj itibariyle benim için önemi ayrıdır.

i loved this book. as a product of two hbcu's i could relate to the struggle that the the student's faced in the book and the methods they used to try to resolve these issues. the one thing i didn't like about the book is its abrupt ending.

"Tanrı olsaydı bunlar olmazdı." Sf:122

I started this book constantly looking out for what Heron was trying to say. Half way through I relaxed and started enjoying it as a book, and was much better for it. This isn't propaganda, it's a good story about how we can get caught up in politics.A great read from an exciting thinker. My one disappointment is that Heron who was so brilliant at deconstruction fails to deconstruct his idealised notions of masculinity and manhood.

I seem to have read loads of books set on college campus but this one was different as it's about an all Black college and revolution. I don't know enough about history to know if the two student factions were base on Martin Luther King and Malcolm X but it appears that way. Maybe because of the subject matter it reminded me of Do The Right Thing.I love Gil Scott Heron and until i was given this book at Christmas I didn't know he wrote books. I want to make a corney joke like 'This revolution

Great read with powerful writing and an interesting cast of characters. Insightful look at the black power movement and black male dominance. Abrupt ending.
