A must read for those looking for understanding the decendents of African slaves in the United States. A thoughtful and articulate thesis by Dr. Akbar, a current tenured Prof. at F.S.U., that provides insight into the dynamics of America's Black community.

This book should be required reading for all young men and women. Na'Im Akbar lays out an understanding easy for all to pick up. My mind was opened to ideas of racial situations and reasons that I had no clue existed. Truely a paradigm shifting book!

When you are recognizing you are the beginning of the path to consciousness as a person of African descent, and it's time for your journey to begin, THIS book is where you start.

Next to the Bible I recommend this book, especially for African Americans.
If you want insight into the psychosis that many black people are suffering from you have to read this book. The old saying that "what you don't know can't hurt" is a lie. Truly people are dying for a lack of knowledge. I can't recommend this book more!
