Review:I gave this book three stars - not because of the subject matter, but due to poor proofreading and/or fact checking.

I was born in a sundown town and we had to leave when I was a baby because my father was a person of color. Since I now live in a primarily Scandinavian area (thought definitely not "whites only") I decided to look in the index and check out the history of my current town. I saw three pages with references to my city due to horrendous lynchings of three African-American men... Read more

Review:Dr. Eric Foner is a prolific and expert American historian. Aside from textbooks, he has published widely on American Slavery, Reconstruction and the Civil War. Foner, in 2010, won the Pulitzer Prize for his "The Fiery Trial." This book is a gem which is essential reading for those wanting to explore the thinking on slavery in the mind of the genius Abraham Lincoln, the Great Empancipator.
Lincoln was always against slavery since the trips he took in his youth to New Orleans where he saw sl... Read more

Review:Did you ever try to find your hands in your dreams? I tried. And succeeded. All by myself, without any fancy workshops. And now I am thinking - if this technique works, could all the rest in Castaneda books be true? What do you think? Read more

Review:Nobody is powerful and stunning in its breadth and depth of analysis. There are many things to be written about the violence that Black and poor bodies face throughout this nation, but only this book could have been written by Marc Lamont Hill. Hill keenly pulls on sociology, legal studies, and myriad other traditions to highlight the common thread of State violence and its influence on the most vulnerable. This book is a must read for those just coming to the topic as well as those well versed ... Read more

Review:Hotep!
I read this book about three years ago, I was sixteen at the time and was just starting to enter a Afrikan - centered process. ONe in which allowed me to understand my people and know my history). I was Christian. I went to some of the best Catholic schools New York had to offer, so I knew European history. Though when it came to Afrikan history, I didn't even know who Frederick Douglass was. So I went along in my process, but I was still in denial that my people had such a great his... Read more

Review:This was a good rendering of you moms secret. Unfortunately whites have deemed that white is best. Black people cannotl afford even today the best of everything. We are oppressed, we have no culture or history. I don blame your mother for passing. She was ensuring a better life for herself and her children. We can't know tribe we come from or experience the life, customs and languages . Unfortunately if you are not pure African they view us differently. I am Kenyon, Nigerian, south Asian, We...

Review:Overall it was worth reading. Even though the book is 16 years since publishing, it still addresses many issues that our USA culture is dealing with today. However, this book blames greed fanned by capitalism for much of our culture's problems. It's time to go deeper than blaming greed. There are other compulsions, like gluttony, that feed selfishness. But we need to know the personal causes of greed and gluttony. I have found these answers in studying the personality studies of the Enneag... Read more

Review:I await the next audiotapes by Peter Coyote on the Castaneda writings. I found his style of speaking perfect for how I image the conversations of Don Juan and Carlos. I rated the tape a number 8 because of the abrupt ending of the tape. I had to replay it twice to be sure that the tape wasn't damage. Also, It would be nice if the whole book was narrated, instead of the abridged portion of it. Read more

Review:See at first I truly thought that this was simply another boring book, you know the kind that you get tired of reading. But as I began to read it I realized it was more of a play. The ply is based on real world situations and I as a teenager do und it to be very good and somewhat outstanding.
To those who enjoy role play or acting this is the book for you nd believe me it was worth the money. The characters were believable and once you pick up the book you simply do not want to put it down...... Read more

Review:"Fences" has become an undisputed classic of American theater. One of the famous "Pittsburgh Cycle" plays by August Wilson, it focuses on a slice of African-American life in a particular decade. The yard of Troy Maxson, set somewhere in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sets the scene. The year is 1957, a time when some opportunities begin opening up for African-Americans - at least in some parts of the country. Racial tensions still raged throughout the US, especially in the south. In that same year, s... Read more
