Non-Fiction Political
Debra Dickerson pulls no punches in this electrifying
manifesto. Outspoken journalist and author of the critically
acclaimed memoir An American Story, she challenges black
Americans to stop obsessing about racism and start focusing
on problems they can fix. The way out of the ghetto, she
asserts, is to take a good, hard look in the mirror. Get
angry, Dickerson says, but use that anger to fuel excellence
and civic participation rather than crime or drug addiction.
Drawing richly on black history and thought, as well as her
own hard-won wisdom, she urges blacks to let go of the past
and claim their full freedom. It’s only by shaping their own
future, she argues, that blacks will finally abolish the
myth of white superiority.
