Essays written by a young Akil for his own generation, in plain street language, aimed at moving Black youth from self-hatred and self-destruction toward knowledge of self. Part manifesto, part study guide, it became a hand-to-hand classic among young readers in the 1990s.
Author: Akil (Andre Akil) · Original publisher: Part One: Nia Communications, 1993; Vol. 2 followed from Lushena Books, 1996
