{"product_id":"volunteer-slavery-my-authentic-negro-experience","title":"Volunteer Slavery: My Authentic Negro Experience","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Jill Nelson became the first black woman to write for The Washington Posts prestigious Sunday magazine in 1986  she thought she had entered journalism heaven. Instead  she discovered that life at The Post meant walking \"the thin line between Uncle Tomming and Mau-Mauing\" - between holding onto her job and preserving her soul. As Nelson recounts her harrowing four years at The Post - along with her odyssey from a middle-class childhood to near poverty  divorce and single motherhood  flame-out love affairs  and a nervous breakdown - she gives us a scalding expose of the racial  sexual  and corporate politics of one of our most respected newspapers. Volunteer Slavery is a funny  fiercely candid book that names names and takes no prisoners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968281702453,"sku":"ByrdShop_014023716X","price":61.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780140237160.jpg?v=1770650730","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/volunteer-slavery-my-authentic-negro-experience","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
