This powerful anthology, first published in 1969, captures the raw and unflinching voices of children living in the ghettos of America’s inner cities. Compiled by Stephen M. Joseph, a respected educator and advocate for disadvantaged youth, “The me nobody knows” offers a rare and poignant glimpse into the lives of those often overlooked and marginalized. Through poetry, essays, and personal accounts, these young authors lay bare their struggles, hopes, and resilience in the face of poverty, racism, and societal neglect. This 13th printing, a testament to the enduring relevance of the work, invites readers to confront harsh realities and gain a deeper understanding of the human experience in urban America during a tumultuous era. For collectors and students of 20th-century American literature and social history, this well-preserved copy represents an invaluable primary source, a window into the hearts and minds of a generation whose voices demand to be heard.
