The author states that racial problems in the United States will not be solved "until two things happen: America must accept responsibility for the grievous wrong that has been committed against Africans and African Americans, and take steps to redress that wrong; and black Americans need to arm themselves with a more comprehensive awareness of their ancient history and a fuller recognition of their ongoing contribution to our nation and the world."--… (plus d'informations)

"I have tried in these pages to sketch the outlines of a story that stretches from the dawn of civilization to the present. The dilemma of blacks in the world cannot possibly be understood with taking the long view of history. My intent is to stimulate, not sate. To pose the question. To invite the debate.

Lines, begun parallel and left alone, can never touch." [74] (

Gripping, eloquent, and reasoned look at American history, American ethnocentrism, slavery, racism, and the way they have shaped African American lives (and African American history). (
