The Situation in South Carolina

Heartstown South Carolina is a small, quaint segregated town filled faithful, god-fearing obedient families. When the Black community in this small city becomes fed up with years of police brutality and second-class treatment, they join together in an epic fight that exposes the inequality and corruption to the entire country.

As the story unfolds, the entire nation becomes mesmerized by the incredibly complex story of murder, revenge and the faith of an entire community. Thousands of people from across the nation race to join this battle, not as a fight for the independence of a community, but as a symbol of every struggle for dignity and equality in the world. Soon, every eye in America becomes focused on the situation in South Carolina.

 "Ingenious Author" 2008-06-06
By Omekula Austin (Greenville, SC)
In respect to the anniversary of the Rodney King beating, the killing of Sean Bell, the recent beating by Philadelphia policemen, the killing of a 90+ year old woman in Atlanta by a policeman, and the current beating of an innocent black man by Long Island policemen...are all evidence that even though THE SITUATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA is a fictitious story, it's also veritable in many aspects.



When reading this novel, you become a character yourself. Either you find yourself portraying one of the characters that are already depicted in the novel; or, you find yourself modifying the novel to include yourself as a character and taking action against THE SITUATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA.



As for the author, from his bio, you learn that he has had many jobs in his 30+ years; however, there is still a greater plan for him. The way he has written this novel lets us know that a FUTURE POLITICIAN is within him. Also, the sermons that Reverand James preached in the novel lets us know that a future MAN OF THE CLOTH is within him. Also, last but not least, the verbiage and history lets us know that Michael Harriot will continue to write prominent novels and that a PROFESSOR is within him.



I encourage you to read THE SITUATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA and it would make a great FATHER'S DAY GIFT!!!

 "Well worth your time, even if you don't read fiction" 2008-05-27
By Anthony Smith (Memphis, TN)
I usually don't read many fiction novels, but I like a good story. This is a GREAT story. Well written and it hooks you from the first chapter. Not only does the book entertain you, but there are excerpts from the book that deal with actual history.



People from all different faiths will appreciate some of the religious undertones, as well as other GROUPS of people.



I finished the book in two days. I would love to see this novel turn into a movie. It could be on the success level with A Time to Kill, but matching this new millenium story.



Ahmad James - Played by Chris Brown or Lance Gross

Montressor Solomon - Played by Columbus Short

Napoleon James - Louis Gosset Jr.

Officer Coble - Josh Duhamel

Mayor Coble - ?

 "A Must Read!" 2008-05-02
By D. Pringle (Atlanta, Georgia)
Michael Harriot is a fluent, socially observant writer whose sentences move with intelligence and wit. He compassionately renders unyielding prose that illustrates the veracity of racial iniquity, political corruption, and cultural disparity. The Situation in South Carolina articulates how the most powerful organization in society is deeply rooted in legalized discrimination and entangles its victims into a web of deceit.



For much of American history corrupt police have infringed upon the liberties of oppressed citizens. Always at the mercy of a criminal justice system that unapologetically preferred not to protect them, these citizens remained socially insignificant. When police brutalities lead to the death of a well respected resident, the community decided to take action. They demanded authentic justice. They denounced the authority of the police and refused to allow them into their territory.



The Situation in South Carolina serves as a vehicle that reviles the virulence of racism, retaliation, and redemption. Harriot deftly conveys history with an artistry to capture attention and conjure conversation. He initiates universal dialogue that merits debate from historical scholars to coffee house conversationalists. Harriot should be celebrated for his courage to broach the immensely important, often neglected topic. A spectacular debut, by far!

 "Outstanding debut novel" 2008-04-18
By K. Reynolds (Cheraw, SC United States)
The Situation in South Carolina is an great introduction to novelist Michael Harriot. The reader is given a glimpse into Heartstown South Carolina, a town both unique and familiar. The uneasy and sometimes volatile relationship between the African American community and Law enforcement provides the undercurrent for this skillfully, often poetically told story of anguish, revenge, and finally, the hope of redemption. I look forward to more from this author.

By Anne Lagache (Orinda, CA, USA)
I volunteered to be the publicist of a non-profit group then searched Amazon and the library for a comprehensive reference how-to book. This book is IT. The first part of the book is, I'd like to say, background reading which explains to you the reader what you've gotten yourself into. The last part of the book shows you what you have to do to be a really good publicist. It's called "A crash course in Publicity." The book has everything in it that you need. I just wish my Board would read some of it so we could follow a publicity plan which this book highly recommends - and I think it is a great idea. It's a hardback which is Really good because you'll be referring to it often. I highly recommend this book if you need a comprehensive reference book on publicity.

Joe's years of experience and casual writing style makes the valuable information contained throughout this book very easy to digest and comprehend. It deals with, and focuses on, the principles and philosophies of publicity as they relate to the business professional who is attempting to maximize the visibility of their product, service or organization.

 "A great publicity primer!" 2000-11-04
By Adam F. Jewell (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
Everything presented in this book will help those charged with the task of generating publicity. Fundamentally, it must be remembered that publicity is just that, it is not paid advertising, it must be managed, but cannot be completely controlled. The goal of the publicist is to provide relevant, newsworthy, information, which will be deemed to be of interest to a target audience. Present the media with an honest, credible, story, that will help them accomplish their goals (attracting more viewers, selling more papers or magazines, or attracting more interested readers to a web site) and your story is more likely to be heard by those you desire to reach.

"The Complete Guide to Publicity" clearly defines publicity, what it is and is not, what to expect from a publicity effort, as well as the particulars to consider when dealing with various media and attempting to target specific audiences with your story.

An excellent introduction to the strategy and structure of a publicity campaign!

 "Hip Hop Prayer Book" 2006-09-08
By S Donahue (United States)
I have always been a proponent of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer(and the Tridentine Mass) and in somewhat opposition to modern liturgy. It seems that the curse of Vatican 2 is that every other Church feels the need to emulate the Novus Ordo Mass in some way, as does the 1979 Prayer Book. However, I realise that there is a whole generation who don't know the 28 BCP and furthermore don't understand its language; ergo, one must make 'some' changes here. Since I do urban work, i can relate to this prayer book. I can appreciate a Hip-Hop Mass. It may not be my particular 'thang' but if others benefit from it, then I'm for it. I did have to scratch out several places where God is referred to as 'mother' because it is Scripturally wrong. Jesus called God, 'Father', and NOT 'mother'. End of discussion.But, I would encourage those who do inner city ministry and other interested parties as well, to obtain a copy of this book and learn from it and benefit as well.

In this lavishly and hilariously illustrated book, he reveals the roots of rap, disco, power ballads, bubblegum, suburban country, and noise-rock; why selling out is good and honesty is never what it seems; the similarities between disco and garage rock and between reggae and heavy metal; whether songs can ever really "mean" anything; what math rock has in common with amputation rock and orgasm rock; and much, much more.

 "One Against the All" 2009-03-15
By Bob Rosenberg (Palm Beach Gardens, FL United States)
The Supreme form of Courage is the One against the All.



Chuck Eddy's writing style alone puts him in a different realm than most critics who would give a favorable review of a sampled fart over a Dr. Rhythm Drum Machine loop for the money.



The fact that he stands alone and is NOT a trendy Sheep yet has been a critic at The Village Voice, Creem, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly and Chief Editor at Billboard should tell you something.



I am willing to bet that all of the one star reviews are from disgruntled musician turned "Rock Critics" who do piecemeal "Internet Rag" reviews from their parents basement. You should really read the book before spewing your jealousy.



Chuck Eddy has the courage to go against the mob without being contrived which puts him way above you haters. What are your accomplishments besides scouring Wikipedia, Youtube and Amazon to give bad reviews to anyone who has made it to the top of their field without being a sell out?



This book will never be a best seller. Neither was "Walden Pond", "Leave's of Grass", "Notes from Underground" or even "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (until recently). This book is not written for the masses who would rather buy the "Tao of Paris Hilton".



Most Pop/Rock/Hip Hop/House/Trance/Progressive/Underground/ad infinitum songs are nothing but unoriginal variations on a few tracks. The fact that there are thousands of divisions for the same sounding junk is an indicator that music has really gone South. This is nothing new, commercialization works this way and this is what the brainwashed herd craves. Todays music is not inspired. It is totally contrived like your negative reviews. Your taste is not esoteric, it's just trendy.



Put on your Ed Hardy hats and keep plugging away D-Bags. One day you may get a permanent non-paying position on an internet magazine. Chuck Eddy has already made his mark. You are not even a blip on the radar screen.

 "The book was good, only in that it should me what truly bad criticism and writing can be." 2008-06-25
By Alex Fuentes (Oak Town, NoCal)
This book is unbelievably bad by a writer who possesses possibly absolutely no talent or intelligence. Unfortunately, it's a sad reflection on rock criticism and writing in general. This book doesn't merit me sitting here wasting my time writing or thinking of it, I want to forget this book, this writer, everything about the experience as quickly as possibly and just pretend it was a very bad dream. I have nothing good to say about this book, except if I'm trapped in a bathroom with only this book, I could come up with one useful thing to do with this book. What's his next book going to be: how boogers are responsible for some of the greatest literary works of this century? I wish this was just some bizarre comment coming off the top of my head, but I could actually see this joker writing such a book of 'weighty scholarship'. Peace out, music lovers, the X Man

The other negative reviews pretty much spell it out, why did I not listen to them.
