A Black Way of Seeing: From ''Liberty''to Freedom

by Paul Robeson Jr.

In the tradition of James Baldwin’s Notes of a Native Son, Robeson’s A Black Way of Seeing melds history and analysis in a sweeping panorama of the present moment as we know it to be—scathing in its understanding of why Black empowerment has failed and prescient in its articulation of what it will take for Black Americans to be agents of change for the country as a whole.

I used his Speaks to America: The Politics of Multiculturalism book for a report for school, and was enlightened. And then I read this. Mr. Robeson, Jr. is in a very unique cloud of conscious leaders; such as Cornell West, Julia Hare, Louis Farrakhan, Michael Dyson, Desmond Tutu, Toni Morrison, Angela Davis, Mandela, Ruby Dee, Sister Souljah, Sonia Sanchez, Harry Belafonte, Nikki Giovanni, Afeni Shakur, Joseph Lowery, KRS-ONE, Tavis Smiley, Bernice King, Kathleen Neal Cleaver, Jamal-Harrison Bryant, Iyanla Vanzant, Mos Def, Henry Louis Gates...I can go on and on and on. READ THIS BOOK!

The agendas, critiques, and predictions are arguably MORE relevant than at the time of publishing.
