Customer Reviews

Brilliant!!

After completely reading this book, I have nothing but praise for the author. The book was enlightening, interesting, observant and forthright! It answered questions that I didn't even know existed in my own mind. It allowed me to be aware of my own ethnicity in ways that I never even considered.Being an avid reader of literature pertaining to the African Diaspora, The Climate: A Perspective Unvisited was the most deserving of my attention. It encompasses all that I wanted to understand about my own race of people; teaching me about the mindset of the society in which I live. Allowing me to recognize how history has played such an intricate role in how we live today.I beleive this book should be required reading for all Black people, be they live in Europe, the Caribbean, Africa, the United States, as a matter of fact, anywhere in the world. It's a book that can uplift our race of people. It's a book that can help to heal and repair the problems that Black people face. It's a book for intellectuals as well as common folk.Although there are some grammatical errors, the message is clear and the content is solid. Chronologically the book is perfect.My advice is to read for learning and not treat this manual as if you're an English instructor. You'll be overwhelmed with insightful information.Robert Anderson

Honest, Fair and Unintimidating

This is absolutely the most honest and provocative writing on race relations that I have ever read. It is dangeroulsly honest but entirely fair and conscientous.This review of race relations and the complexities of race relations of the world really does give the reader a different way of looking at race and the origins and development of mankind.The viewpoint of African-Americanism is poignant and exposing, but gives the outlook of a better and brighter future that proves that mental equalities pertaining to race is very possible and near.I feel this book should be required reading for any social studies, anthropolgy and African-American studies class; as a matter of fact, it would be great for Latino Studies as well.This is needed!! I will now be aware of the way that I judge people internally and never judge another unless I have walked in their shoes. I feel like I have kept my personal judgments too private and sometimes unfair but now I will know how to overcome the prejudices--to which we are all guilty.
