Review Of Malcolm X: The Last Speeches By Bruce Perry

Growing up without a father and a mother that was raising other people’s children I had to find elders who cared. Malcolm X was always, and will always be, one of my favorites. Malcolm X: The Last Speeches edited by Bruce Perry shows exactly why. Perry put together a group of speeches by Malcolm X that are just as important today as when Malcolm spoke them. I always loved Malcolm because he gave analysis of whole systems and tied them to our daily lives. He also never stopped growing. If Malcolm saw that an organization was lacking he would move on, creating institutions from scratch if necessary. So many leaders become comfortable where they are. I wish more people had the courage that Malcolm X did. If you do not really know Malcolm X read Malcolm X: The Last Speeches edited by Bruce Perry and you may become a fan.

Review Of Fight For freedom By Carey Robinson

I picked up the book Fight for Freedom by Carey Robinson while in Jamaica. It was the best thing about that trip for me. Robinson tells about everyone from the Arawaks to Three-Finger Jack. As you read through the book you see that all of the slaves were defiant. Genocide could not stop the natives and the slaves from fighting against those who tried to keep them in bondage. After reading Fight for Freedom I began to wonder what happened to that fighting spirit in Jamaica. I saw a country that produces bauxite which is valuable and poverty of the masses. How can you have valuable minerals along side poverty of the citizens? It must be cowardice or some kind of mind control. The people of Jamaica need to read Fight for Freedom by Carey Robinson before they look up and find themselves in chains.

Review Of Terror Attacks By Vivian Head & Anne Williams

You would think that terrorism just started in the late 20^th century, but terror as a political tool has been here for centuries. Terror Attacks by Vivian Head and Anne Williams gives us a history of terrorism. I have been terrorized by the NYPD since I was a teenager, but other members of the empire of the United States are just catching on. Terror Attacks will show how governments are responsible for many acts of terror directly as well as indirectly. The easiest way for a government to implement police control with permission is to carry out an act of terrorism and blame the act on someone else. The state will spend an eternity looking for bad guys that do not exist. Terror Attacks also gives us knowledge of how many destructive groups are funded by western governments. It seems like the west can only deal with global thugs. Terror Attacks by Anne Williams and Vivian Head clarified a lot about who commits acts of terror on who for me. It can enlighten you as well, if you have the courage to see.

Review Of Classic Slave Narratives By Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Many people think that slave narratives are not as important today as they were during the 1800’s. They say we are beyond slavery, but The Classic Slave Narratives edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr. will show that slavery never really ended. As you read through these slave narratives you will recognize people that you know right now in the 21^st century. You may even recognize yourself. Classic Slave Narratives may shock you at first, but we all need to be shocked from time to time. No one can grow without some mental struggle. The book shows that some people were paid and some even bought their own freedom. Others earned enough to buy their families. These free people could easily be taken into slavery in a slave territory. If you think that you have more freedom than the old slaves, think about how many of us are in prisons, on probation, and on parole. Classic Slave Narratives shows the brutality of slavery. It is no different than the brutality of police murders or group shootings of today. You should read The Classic Slave Narratives edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and read your situation to get free.

Review Of Native Son By Richard Wright

My sister once told me that Native Son by Richard Wright was too violent for her. I thought that she was so strange to say anything is too violent in the United States. This is the empire of genocide and leader assassinations. Native Son shows us that the U. S. is also the empire of forced poverty and ethnic dominance. A poor boy with simple minded parents is doomed unless he can break out of his experience with his curious mind. Some of us did this by reading books from writers like Wright. The main character never breaks free from the plantation rules that govern the U. S. and he suffers the ultimate destruction. Wright also points out that when the under class blows up from the pressure put on them from above, sometimes other members of the society can get caught in the blast. If you find yourself in a rut because of your position in this society you can wait until a majority realizes that empire is dead and we all have worth or you can read Native Son by Richard Wright to see what not to do.
