Kenyatta's Last Hit

By Donald Goines and Al C. Clark

Book Overview

Kenyatta, the living black legend, concentrates his army's ruthless forces to rid the black community of rampant drug traffic. With the help of Elliot Stone, a black football star and latest recruit to the army, Kenyatta discovers the identity of the fat-cat king of the drug pushers. The crack black and white detective team of Benson and Ryan follows Kenyatta's trail of blood across the country . . . and to a final confrontation atop one of Las Vegas's most glittering hotels "In his five-year literary career, Donald Goines provided perhaps the most sustained, multifaceted, realistic fiction picture ever created by one author of the lives, choices, and frustrations of the underworld ghetto blacks. Almost single-handedly, Goines established the conventions and the popular momentum for a new fictional genre, which could be called ghetto realism." --Greg Goode, University of Rochester

Customer Reviews

The supreme ending...

This is the last of the Kenyatta series, and it goes out with a bang. The book keeps Kenyatta, Betty, Ryan and Benson, and other familiar characters at the forefront, but brings many new ones to the scene as well and does a great job of giving us plenty of them. Like all of his stories, Goines has a way of detailing certain things that others wish they could possess, but don't. He also did something which is pretty tough to do when someone writes sequels or a series, and that is, this book, in my opinion, is the best of the four.

A great slab 'o inner city pulp

Donald Goines is an american treasure for tellin' it like it is. Forget H. Rap Brown - read Goines for a brutal slice of black, urban reality. Also recommended are "White Man's Justice, Black Man's Grief" and "Daddy Cool." Dig yourself, babeeeeey!

Ghetto Realism at it's Best

I loved this book by Donald Goines. If you like to read a good story with great characters, then this is the one for you. This book is the last in the series about Kenyatta and his crew who tries to take down da "man" - the dope pushers that push "junk". It is a good story that i loved and with the street knowledge that he pushes through his characters keep readers coming back for more.
