The Root: What books are you reading right now?

[mbewane]

So this book is coming out in the US soon, "Small Country" by Gaël Faye

Was a huge success in France, writter is a very talented rapper first and foremost and went into his childhood back in Burundi with the rwandan genocide looming in the background. It has it flaws as a novel, but def worth the read and since I think not many francophone authors get translated to english I though it would be worth it to post it here

Racism is a culture that is passed from generation to generation. It's how they bond.

Joe feagin was interviewed on the cow years ago.

Just copped it. Had to. Many people say this book has new gems. Lets hope so as many books on this subject has the same oldie moldie shyt. Lets also hope the author does not go overboard gay for Islam and neglect the "Africaness" of this history like MOST do on this subject.

I'll have to check that out. Too many people think just because a white people is cool with them or in public that they aren't racist. They don't know what is said behind closed doors in a white only environment.

Everytime I read this BLACKEXCELLENCE I shed a tear and gain a new gem

...like how the original March on Washington was CaCified thru Devil's Tricknology

Elijah's Heel Turn, tho

What version is this one?

Is this the one written by Alex Haley?

 

[Dead End]

For Black History Month I'm reading Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877 by Eric Foner. Been meaning to read this for years but only finally got to it this month. Written in 1988, it finally put to bed most of the previous, flawed broad historical schools on Reconstruction, which often were racist, sympathetic to the Confederacy and wanting on primary sources.
