“Neal Hall’s Nigger For Life is a vibrant, raw, spellbinding and compelling work of poetry. This is a voice to be watched.”
Bruce Haring, New York Book Festival
Nigger For Life is Dr. Hall’s first book of poetry. It is international award winning and reflects his painful discovery, that in “unspoken America,” race is the one thing by which he is first judged, measured and metered diminished value, dignity, equality and justice.
I sense Dr. Hal’s hypersensitivity to suffering – Martin, Malcom and Jesus all had this same hypersensitivity. Both side of his soul have prophetic leanings; his poetry has the capacity to change ordinary people’s philosophy on social and racial issues. Like brother Malcom, Dr. Hall is the activist who wants to change the world. –Professor Cornel West
I was riveted, even moved by the images Dr. Hall describes in a Nigger For Life and the issues he addresses; these are tremendously important to our people and the academic fields of African American Studies. Dr. Hall has found just the right balance between argument, a point of view and rhetoric. There are very few texts that do that. Nigger For Life does it very well. Exceptionally so! –Professor Beth Richie, Chair, Dept of African American Studies, University of Illinois
