Tim Seibles says, "In Negro Side of the Moon, Earl Braggs confronts the 'problem of the color line' with lyrical ferocity and politically charged wit. Many things don't get said about what seems to be a multifaceted conspiracy against the physical safety and mental well-being of Black Americans-which, ultimately, calls every life into question. In his new book, Braggs means to sing the whole story in a voice both manic and carefully packed with the freight we're all obliged to carry-whether we know it or not. If, as Dr. King has said, the destiny of white people is inextricably bound to the destiny of black people Negro Side of the Moon is an invitation to all of us to wake the hell up and take a long look at what ails the American psyche."
