SOUL-SEARING, ESSENTIAL WORDS FOR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.....,
This review is from: Black Men, Obsolete, Single, Dangerous?: The Afrikan American Family in Transition (English and English Edition) (Paperback)
This eloquent, yet hard-hitting book gives a blueprint, instructions and provocative reasoning behind why Black families are in crisis today, and most of his criticsm is leveled at the "men" in the Black community who have yet to step up to the plate and claim their rightful responsibilities in the home and in the world. In often humorous ways, Haki breaks down what the issues are, where the solutions lie and what we should demand of each other in our collective struggle (from our Black mates, children, leaders, etc.). He does all of this without being condescending or pious, but stern and loving, an accomplishment in itself, and I recommend this to any Black person commited to the struggle to make lives better for Blacks in this country as a whole, starting in their own backyards. If more Black men took these word to heart, the world would be a better place for all brothers and sisters. VITAL, CRUCIAL and NECESSARY!!!

BLACK PEOPLE - MANDATORY READING,
This review is from: Black Men, Obsolete, Single, Dangerous?: The Afrikan American Family in Transition (English and English Edition) (Paperback)
Understand yourself and the world around you in a way that you never had before. ALL black people need to read this book! You will not be able to put this down as you read about the simplest differences between you and your white equivelent. Madhabutis' almost poetic language is peaceful to read. If you're a black person who believes that change is necessary but you don't know what to do about it, the educative source is right in front of you, it's now up to you.
