The Power Of Story: Global Myths on the Origins and Character of Black People

Viac o knihe

The purpose of writing this book was to introduce some historical reasons why racial discrimination came about. The second was to show how it has been systematically perpetuated, The third was how we must find solutions by honestly bursting the basic myths that have been used to justify racism in its many and subtle forms. These myths include, but are not limited to, religious, political, pseudo-scientific and social. They all have continuing results on the identity, education and economic status of black people. Some new movements, such as Black Lives Matter, have tried to fight for a change, but do these have all the answers, or what else is needed in order to solve these race related issues? Some of these are suggested n the questions for discussion so that the reader will think beyond what is written in the book.
