Date Published: September 1991
Format: Trade Paper
Many members of the black community will be familiar with Kunjufu
because of his tireless efforts in promoting his nine previous books, such as the
three-volume Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys (African American Images,
1983, 1986, 1990), and his ideas. Kunjufu has degrees in economics and business, his
company (the book's publisher) employs 100 people, and he tours the country giving
lectures and interviews. Well researched and containing minimal business jargon, his book
makes business concepts easily understandable without condescension to the lay reader. It
then gives a clear call to action for blacks to join together to improve the lot of the
average African American. While most of the ideas have been bandied about in African
American circles for years, this is the most comprehensive, compelling, and clearly worded
effort this reviewer has read. Recommended for all public libraries.
