Book Description
The now-classic memoir that shocked, outraged, and ultimately changed the way America looked at the civil rights movement and the black experience.
By turns shocking and lyrical, unblinking and raw, the searingly honest memoirs of Eldridge Cleaver are a testament to his unique place in American history. Cleaver writes in
Soul on Ice, "I'm perfectly aware that I'm in prison, that I'm a Negro, that I've been a rapist, and that I have a Higher Uneducation." What Cleaver shows us, on the pages of this now classic autobiography, is how much he was a man.
Customer Reviews:
Lost for words.......2007-09-27
After reading this book I believe trying to articulate in writing "what my opinion" is would be doing it an injustice. The man is brilliant and has influenced me to search for more knowledge and wisdom. Thanks Mr. Cleaver!
Sad, Revolutionary, and Incindiary at the same time,.......2007-09-10
Mr. Cleaver wrote a semiautobiography about how society sets itself up along racial and gender lines. Raping women is reprehensible and evil and it doesn't help solve the racial/gender problem. It excabates it. Challenging the racist/sexist society by making alliances with people whom he considered to be his enemies will solve most of the problem. He should have shown love for his fellow man/woman. Didn't Jesus tell people to love your enemies, not hating and violating them? Later on in life, his views have changed for the better.
He right, even now. .......2007-06-02
The themes exhibited in "Soul On Ice" are race, racism, individuality vs. societal standards and traditions, injustice, humanity, religion/faith, inhumanity and activism. Cleaver spends a great deal of time writing on the injustices Black people face in America, and how even though he is what society wants him to be, it is his fault that he allow society to be right. He pledges to take steps towards change and to become a benefit to society.
I know that a lot of people think that they know about the civil rights movement and the effects it had on the Black race, but they don't. This story of a man who, at the time, had been locked up for more than half of his life, is the story of all real Black people. I think that sometimes Black people do things and think that it is their nature, which is how stereotypes brew. Cleaver shows us that it is history and hatred that have made us a collective in an usual individual world. We do think for ourselves, yet a racist society continues to force us to travel down a road that we have not set for ourselves, and that he has fell into racist America's trap. He has become the stereotype: (supposedly) uneducated, a prisoner, and a victim of "The Ogre" (the white woman).
One of the best books i've ever read...........2007-03-09
Eldridge Cleaver was one of the most loquacious orators of modern times...painting ghetto vignettes with skillfull mastery....he was one of the most brilliant revolutionary minds of the 20th century...please, do yourself a favor and read this book!
decent writer, bad man..........2007-01-11
people consider this to be 'in the world of literature' and serious?
cleaver's a misogynistic pig, a racist, and a multiple rapist. that's all you need to know.

The ones who fought the Civil War.......2000-01-10
This book offers a very detailed overview of the Militäry Academy at West Point in the Antebellum Period. All important aspects of leadership, education and allday routine of the corps of cadets are considered. Allthough it is not an easy lecture it is very informative.

* Gain an understanding of the current issues involved in everyday healthcare situations
* Practice resolving conflicts through the case studies and exercises
* Improve your decision-making skills for a variety of healthcare settings
Customer Reviews:
Reading this book should be a pre-requisite !.......2001-09-19
I think The Ethics of the Ordinary in Healthcare should be on the "must read" list for all who work in the field of Healthcare. All too often, the "little things" that relate both to patient care and relationships of those professionals within the office are overlooked or considered not important. Actually, these are equally important as the "macro" issues in any organization are, and the consequences of ignoring the "micro" aspects of the every day routine,I think, make an enormous difference in both the effectiveness and quality of care in the healthcare organization. A heart-felt "THANK YOU" to the author for bringing this subject to light!
