At last! Here is a scholarly and revolutionary approach to looking at white world imperialism and black political, economic, social, and psychological reactions to that imperialism. Dr. Wilson breaks new ground with an airtight analysis of the system of global white supremacy. With skill and grace, he describes how the Afrikan mind has been damaged and reassembled by the oppressors. This book is a must read for anyone interested in freeing their mind. You should watch "The Matrix" right after reading this book!

I've read every one of his books and seen all of his dvds. Dr. Wilson is on an intellectual level by himself. I recall him saying once that there is nothing like a good theory to guide behavior. This book - and all his other works - are filled with good and necessary theories to guide the behavior of African people. In 'Falsification' he delineates step by step how Euro society has remade the Black person into an imbecilic slave. If our group is ever going to progress - which at times seems highly unlikely - we must understand this book completely. It literally is the only way to build up psych defenses in a society that is maintained on pathological normalcy. Read everything he's ever written and any dvd you can get your hands on will give you the over-standing that's indispensable.

I often wondered why Bro. Amos doesn't get the recognition that he deserves - even amongst those who claim "consciousness" and now I understand why. Mentally, the conscious community wasn't(isn't?) prepared to deal with the full weight of what Bro. Amos is saying in this set of essays. Do we DELUDE ourselves, even in our "consciousness"? Is such a thing possible? Yes and yes says Br. Amos. The Appendix alone is worth the cost of the book as it outlines Five Common Symptoms of Pathological Normalcy in Oppressed Afrikans...to order direct from publisher afrikanworld AT aol DOT com

Excellent book. Besides the facts in the book, it teaches you to think objectively instead of subjectively.
