Description
Book SynopsisWith a premise that the African American mind continues to deal with the impact of slavery on many levels, this proactive discussion analyzes the effect of such mental strain on black culture and proposes a model for creating more African American leaders and empowering African American communities. Dr. Taylor explores not only the history of slavery and the subsequent reparations in the United States but also the reparations that are still discernibly necessary, both financial and psychological. The traumatic impact of slavery on African Americans is examined in the fields of education, economics, family, history, and culture. In addition, this gripping book outlines ways in which a revitalization of African history and culture can help restore the African American psyche.
Trade Review"[Author] Taylor describes King as a primary internalized loved object. He was family, both mother and father. His protrait held honored places in African American homes. His assassination in 1968, like that of other Black heroes, seared the Black cultural consciousness. This pain, the experience of historical subjugation and the loss of leaders, migrates across generations." --www.PsychologyToday.com
