Our Faults: Conversations on the State of Affairs in Modern Black America by Ant

Description: Our Faults by Anthony O. Viegbesie Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Groundbreaking, provocative, informative, needling, and wise, Dr. Anthony O. Viegbesies Our Faults: Conversations on the State of Affairs in Modern Black America is a book that takes a bold and powerful step meant to spark meaningful dialogue to educate, support, and promote Americas black communities. In this book, the author calls for self-awareness, self-development, and personal growth for African-Americans. New author, Dr. Anthony O. Viegbesie, in this work of nonfiction, breaks new ground in race and accountability by asking Americas black communities to look inward for answers on race relations as well as socio-economic and socio-political issues. If it takes a whole village to raise a child, it takes an entire race to promote the standards of its members. In seven lively, engaging, and highly readable chapters, Viegbesie examines what it means to be African-American and what it means to start living and believing in the American Dream. Conversational, if at times jibing, Viegbesie describes how African-American communities subscribe to poverty as a way of life. Each chapter focuses on broad areas of behaviors that contribute to the general impoverishment of the African-American people. He argues that the only way African-Americans can resolve the issue of poverty in their communities and dig themselves out of the trenches is to identify some of their actions and behaviors that have contributed to their own demise. Join Dr. Viegbesie as he questions actions, behaviors, and norms that have encouraged setbacks and stumbling blocks within the African-American community.
