Summary: Listen up....
Review: This book is a must read for any and every one of African decent. This compelling book must be taught to children in every house hold by "us". We must take the responsibility for "our" own and this book along with others like "the Isis papers" but more importantly "MIS-Education of the Negro" will take us there..if we are willing to go!

Summary: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Review: This book is an excellent example of revolutionary literature. The author presents a character that manipulates our perceptions about the ideal hero, anti-hero, and antagonist all to satisfy an agenda set on puting power and courage back in the hands of the people. It really makes you wonder about the apperances and the assumptions we all make based upon what people allow us to see about themselves.
The beauty of this book rests in the realization that you never really know the motivation behind the actions of some people. There really could be a "spook" working with the President or on an executive board with a major corporation that is planning to unleash the fury of a downtrodden socio-econmic class and show what potential is being wasted on street corners and in jails in every city and the consequences of turning a blind eye to the people that bear the brunt of society's worst hypocricy- equal opportunity.

Summary: Wow!
Review: This book was recommended to me years ago but I decided recently that I would read it. I was not disappointed. I won't give a long drawn out review but I will say, those that are interested in the well being and seeing 'black' people progress as a whole will not be disappointed. Just imagine if every 'black' person read this book and took it to heart?
