deep African/ African American thinking

[Sista]

@People who contribute or contributed to this topic.


Some of the books named in this discussion, I have read them. The Souls of Black Folk, Notes of a Native Son, An African Centered Critique of European Thought and Behavior, The ISIS papers and one of my favorites, Stolen Legacy.
Some of the other books, I have heard of them and can imagine what they are about. After reading the books I have read, I have come to the conclusion what they do for me, how they reshape my views on how Black people in America have been classified from their titles as Colored, Negro and African American, I have also received other insight from the reading of these books.
I have seen some topics in this forum which has discussed how Black people, Colored people or African American people or what have you, chose to view their self, in terms of their title. I was just curious to know, what do these books do for the people in this discussion who have read them? Why is this discussion particularly titled "deep African/ African American thinking?" When one reads that title, what is one thinking when one discusses the deep books one has said to have read in this topic? For instance, what do you feel these books do for you?

Folks,

I have a philosophical book in the forms of poetry and the author is new to the scene: The book is called: The Keepers of the Shrine Poems - The Young Men, The Young Women, The Age-old Children by Andrew Marshall Jr.

This book addresses manhood and womanhood, and the responsibility each one of us had for our own livelihood and life. It is reflective of the mood, conditions, and problems that are prevelent within the black race in the United States, and the opposition to overcome. . . .
