House Full of Brothers (Vintage)

Steven Walls blew into L.A. from Omaha seeking his California membership in a black fraternity, an education, a prestigious job—and a white woman. That's what it took to make it in the white man's world, Steven thought. And that's exactly what he got—until he was booked for a bank robbery and murder he didn't commit, and Walls came tumbling down.In this, his first novel, author Jon Palmer probes black fraternities and the manners and mores of "white-conscious" middle-class blacks. And he does so incisively.
