Summary: Exact Information
Comment: I didn't have to go far for the book I was looking for. The book was almost brand new when I recieved it and I got a great deal. There was not a mark on it and the price was great. I had read some of the previous reviews from other online reviews that helped me make the decision to purchase this book.

Summary: Government sucks
Comment: I think that the government did nothing good at this time(1992) and he still isn't doing anything good for us. The poor is getting poorer and the rich is still rich. We cant work because our brains are dieying with out food. This book is a wonderful but the tragic moments are very sad and disapointing. I dont think that anyone should have more power oer us no matter what. We should be exempt and work for our families in different countries. I will fight for the people in my community and it will be anarchy. I will beat the system and nobody will stop me!

Summary: Twilight : Los Angeles, 1992
Comment: This play offers the viewer a chance to reflect on recent history in California. It is an intelligent look at the discussion of race in America. Any chance for thoughtful self-evaluation is an opportunity to grow and learn. Anna Deavere Smith's work is grand.

Summary: AMAZING
Comment: Anna Deavere Smith truly brought out what the LA riots of 1992 were about. She shows us how blind we can all be, how an action of one person can actually cause the suffering of another for the rest of their lives. It was scary to think that this could have happened anywhere, or anytime. She showed us that sometimes, we have to open out eyes and watch was is going on around us. It was a great experience. The characters touched me deeply. I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: A largely unknown intellectual
Comment: I had the extreme pleasure of sitting in two classes with Ms. Smith as she talked about Twilight. It is a wonderful work with a documentary foundation that educates you on the happenings during the infamous Los Angeles riots, from Korean shopkeepers to Black gang members to White-male politicians--Smith has made sure every reader gets the full spectrum of views. Each monologue is actually an interview Smith personally conducted; each are placed in an order that somehow manages to flow together to tell a collective story of an unfortunate occurence in recent American history and justice. It will remind you that the passions of the event had personal roots for all involved.
