Instead, she discovered that life at \u003ci\u003eThe Post\u003c\/i\u003e meant walking \"the thin line between Uncle Tomming and Mau-Mauing\" - between holding onto her job and preserving her soul.    \u003cp\u003eAs Nelson recounts her harrowing four years at \u003ci\u003eThe Post\u003c\/i\u003e - along with her odyssey from a middle-class childhood to near poverty, divorce and single motherhood, flame-out love affairs, and a nervous breakdown - she gives us a scalding expose of the racial, sexual, and corporate politics of one of our most respected newspapers. \u003ci\u003eVolunteer Slavery\u003c\/i\u003e is a funny, fiercely candid book that names names and takes no prisoners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noble Press, Incorporated, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062109815024,"sku":"9781879360242","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781879360242","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
