This book is probably the most important book published in the last 50 years. I have read it twice and purchased the audio book and am listening to it for a third experience. I know it is controversial now but books that change paradigms are always controversial. This is literally the black history book that correlates to the gaps in American history that they never taught in school and should be teaching. It weaves in the narrative of African descended people and acknowledges their experiences and contributions to America and highlights the origins and legacies of systematic issues affecting African descended people today. My eyes were opened.

This book has never been read. SPOTLESS!! A $38 book I bought for $5. Deal of the day ! Well pkgd ~ Quick Ship

This book will challenge and educate.
At times it resonates with my life experience growing up in another country. Sometimes it makes me very uncomfortable.
It is worth every penny but don't rush through it. Take your time and meditate / pray on it. This one is a keeper and will be read again . . . .

The included authors were well-chosen and create an intelligent harmony. This harmony clearly lays out the basis of today's disharmony within American society. If you want to understand the origins of today's deep cultural woes, this is the book to read.
