Scamming God

En savoir plus sur le livre

In 1851 only ten percent of the people of the North wanted to abolish slavery. A year later, all that changed. Uncle Tom's Cabin had become a worldwide bestseller. The reason for its popularity was simple. It portrayed blacks as fully human. Rather than humanize a race, Scamming God humanizes a savior. It vibrates with the drift and thrust of the ambitions of our time and how they effect a young woman who gets knocked up by a con man then gets even by pulling the mask off his Enron-like swindle, corporate law and conservatism. One reviewer wrote, "Scamming God's heroine starts out young and vulnerable, meets a charismatic criminal and by the end has become a truly wise, well-rounded and strong person." Writer John Nichols noted, "[Scamming God] cuts through the interlocking scams that define our moral universe."
