Description for Wheelchair Warrior
Hardcover. Melvin Juette has said that becoming paralyzed in a gang-related shooting was 'both the worst and best thing that happened' to him. The incident, he believes, surely spared the then sixteen-year-old African American from prison and/or an early death. It transformed him in other ways, too. This title re-constructs the defining moments of his life. Num Pages: 192 pages, black & white illustrations, frontispiece. BIC Classification: BGSA; JFFG; WSJM. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 5346 x 3564 x 458. Weight in Grams: 327.

Reviews for Wheelchair Warrior
"A compelling and richly sociological memoir. The incisive introduction and conclusion highlight how and why Melvin’s successes are not simply of his own making. Wheelchair Warrior provides the reader with an enlightening analysis of how history and society intersect with biography in Melvin’s life." —Kent Sandstrom, University of Northern Iowa
