"Say it loud, I m black and I m proud,"
shouted James Brown during the Civil
Rights Movement of the 1960s. But what
connects black people today, in the 21st
Century? Do any qualities transcend
income and social status, being born
in the United States, Britain, France, or
the Caribbean, to create a universal black
culture ?
In a fascinating look into the intimate lives
of black men and women worldwide,
Lawrence C. Ross, Jr., the celebrated author
,of The Divine Nine: A History of African
American Fraternities and Sororities, creates
a fascinating, eye-opening, portrait of Black
identity today.
Each profile chronicles a day in the life
of a diverse group of people who speak
of the current black experience. Writers,
diplomats, educators, students, and
expatriates raise their voices along with
those of the rich and famous, including
celebrities such as Nikki Giovanni,
hip hop artist Guru, former Atlanta
mayor Bill Campbell, and Congressman
Chaka Fattah. With different languages,
different world views, and different
standards of living, all of these people
have their African heritage in common...
but what else? What beliefs, values,
and everyday activities unite a Brazilian
dentist, a British politician, and an
American porn star? The answers
discovered by author Lawrence Ross
become a rich compendium of shared
experience and astonishing revelations.
Illustrated with forty photographs,
THE WAYS OF BLACK FOLKS is a
provocative overview of a people, one that
will inspire dialogue and controversy
while it celebrates a unity that neither
circumstances nor geography can divide.
