Customer Reviews

A great spiritual book

This book I found very spiritual as well as informative. Opens a whole new way of looking at the Afrikan American. The hue-Manity concept includes all colors. I recommend it. Jerry Edwards

author, in prose and poetry, urges consciousness shift

Author Dismukes recounts her recent recovery from alcoholism as paradym for African-American led needed change in American consciousness, which she finds both an ongoing process, and a desirable end.The poetry is moving, some of the essays poignant, and the African graphics all provide a terse and thought provoking introduction to current 'Afrocentric' thought. Whether discussion of SM in a chapter on sex adds to, or detracts from, the author's otherwise spiritual approach cannot be determined by this reviewer who has no special knowledge of this particular sexual practice.Except for this sidetrip into current fad sex, the book is a strong contribution to the recovery literature from the African-American view, with prose and poetry mix an African-American tradition.
