Man Up! Nobody is Coming to Save Us [Paperback]

Steve Perry (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2006

Man Up! is a hard hitting, hig, introspective look into what the Black community must do to save itself. Finally, a voice speaks to the complex relationship between personal and community responsibility.

Steve Perry effectively calls to task organizations such as the NAACP and the Black church as well as talking heads like Michael Eric Dyson and Cornell West for their role in the retardation of the Black community. Ultimately Man Up! is about the simple solutions offered in each chapter.

This review is from: Man Up! Nobody is Coming to Save Us (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book, it does tell it like it is, no ifs ands or buts. It is time folks stopped blaming other folks, and took some responsibility on, and stepped up. We are out here, together, and we need to man up. NOBODY is coming to save us. The many voices that claim to speak for us, don't, their interests are not my interests, and more than likely not yours either. A book like this and many others like it needs far wider dissemination that it is getting. Enough of the sound bite mentality, self pity. Get up, stand up, and learn and do for yourselves.

Man Up! will become required reading for black Americans (young & old) in the sphere of my influence. This book delivers truth, problems, realities, and common sense solutions to the ills of the ebony community. Where did the brother find the wisdom, inspiration, and most of all the courage to say what needs to be said? We are destroying ourselves and must take corrective action now. This book is a manifesto and valuable first steps reading to a positive living in the right direction.

This review is from: Man Up! Nobody is Coming to Save Us (Paperback)

The book was very direct in confronting the issues that people of color struggle with on a daily basis. The book also brought out some strong points that need to be addressed immediately by all people.I found it to be a good read, and shared it with others that I know.
