Men We Reaped by Jesmyn Ward
5.0

"Men We Reap", Jesmyn Ward leaves the reader spinning through their own convictions and deeper insights of the prevailing difficulties men (Black and in unequal situations) are forced to live.....and ultimately die in. Ward presents a very intimate recollection of the men in her life--so common among us all--but at the time of their deaths. We readers are pulled into an inner diatribe against society's unequal treatment of these men. We are angered by these men whose lives we've reaped. And we are convicted by Ward showing this constant battle of Man vs. Poverty where man is again defeated.
