The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, Or, Africa for the Africans
| Author | Marcus Garvey |
| ISBN | 0912469242 |
Realized I had awakened when I heard someone mention "the bible" and had to focus my mind on knowing they were not referring to The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey. How much energy has been put into concealing the contents of this book? Distracting us from it? Distorting its contents? Why? Could...

I think the greatest strength of the book is the detailed description Cohen gives us of the social safety net that existed in the...

| Author | Touré |

This is a good book. It's almost a 'how to behave yourself' manual fit for all races. I'd like to believe everyone would read this and we would all get our shit together.
