Please Don't Bomb the Suburbs A Midterm Report on My Generation and the Future of Our Super Movement

As a Twenty-One-Year-Old Potty-Mouthed graffiti writer from the Southside of Chicago, William Upski Wimsatt (a.k.a. Billy) electrified the literary and hip-hop world with two of the most successful underground classics in a generation, Bomb the Suburbs and No More Prisons (over 90,000 sold). Now he's back with Please Don't Bomb the Suburbs, a personal history of America's cultural and political movements from 1985-2010. From the death of Chicago Mayor Harold Washington to the rise of Barack Obama; from the golden era of hip-hop to the dawning of a new progressive age; from the Battle of Seattle to the League of Pissed-off Voters, Billy tells the story of a new generation who win elections, wear suits, sustain marriages, build families, and take on the ultimate responsibilities: governing and adulthood. It's a story about growing up, and a provocative vision for a twenty-first century Super Movement.
