That's a good question. Holloway House, the publisher that
puts out pretty much all Donald Goines's these days, also
carries a ton of stuff like that
(e.g. "Black Hit Woman", "Street of Ho's", "Memoirs of a
Black Casanova") that is so ridiculously cliched and
stereotypical, I can't believe that it wasn't a 50-year-old
white guy in the 1970s writing it. Most of them seem to have
been written pseudonymously, though, so we'll probably never
know.
