NVER FORGIVE NOR FORGET

STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN. All oppressive nations have had revolutions , including this hypocritical nation. Therefore, it really is not so surprising that African Peoplewho were bought here by force and not by choice have RAGE. Thereis still systematic racism. american was founded on RACISM and GENOCIDE. Ask the Indgenous of this nation. They have been fighting since 1492!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CLASSIC WORK ON BLACK IDENTITY, but sexist

This book is a classic. It truly helped me as a White to understand the ongoing impact on race relations of the dynamics that were created in slavery. It is particularly helpful in understanding how slavery dynamics are played out in cross-racial sexual relationships. The only flaw is that it is HOPELESSLY sexist, reflecting the gender stereotypes of 1968. This sexism rises to such a level that parts of the book are difficult to read. Because of this, I have stopped using it as a required book for my classes, but still, this book helped me to personally understand the adaptive responses of African-Americans given our oppressive system.

Very good information

I thought this book was very good information. It is great for someone who is a psychologist to read this book. The only thing I did not like was that it seemed to be one sided, but the authors did a good job of providing information.
