In this powerful book, Dr. K. Edwin Bryant confronts difficult conversations to help non-blacks reinterpret public responses to oppression imposed on and experienced by the black community.
Dr. Bryant offers a real-life characterization of how justice disrupts the organization of power along racial lines and the final analysis needed to pull Black people apart from reliance on the 'double consciousness'.
This is a lifeline and safe place for people who benefit from privilege to openly admit they share in and benefit from the privileges of being White – and the courage to help make America a better place by rejecting racism.
Filled with purpose and urgency, this book serves as a call to action to deconstruct and dismantle the systemic and implicit biases that continue to oppress nonwhite people in the country, particularly Black Americans.
It is a beacon of light unveiling a new community on the horizon. Dr. Bryant reminds us that an intense reframing and re(presenting) rage is the action that moves (America) toward progress – not just protest.
This is a must read for all of those who are in search of the truth and trying to find healing in the wake of the tragedies of our history past and present. These things have effected all of us in some way privately and publicly. I love the way the author interwinds his personal experiences as a man, husband and father related to the topics. I also felt the flow of the book was "just right" making it one that I could not put down. Each chapter references and/or bibliography pointed me in the right direction to satisfy my curiosity to seek additional information on my own. I am proud to have this book in my library. Bravo!
