| Summary |
"Black Americans have arguably arrived at the height of their cultural prominence. In politics, entertainment, academics, and nearly every sphere of influence, "black issues" dominate the discussion. Yet many black Americans are suffering worse than ever from the blight of poverty, physical and mental health struggles, lack of opportunity, and failing schools. Anti-American sentiment and societal resentment are at an all-time high. The scholars and luminaries who contributed to this volume believe that what has been lost can be recovered. If our nation recognizes the history of our current predicament, embraces America's founding principles that made her an economic powerhouse, and commits to a program of restorative fiscal, education, and social welfare policies, black Americans can overcome the struggles that most impact their communities. We hope that reading and teaching the ideas in this book can help provide a framework for attaining these goals"-- Provided by publisher. |
