Questions Every Black Person Should Ask at Least Once (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434380869)

Questions Every Black Person Should Ask At Least Once aims to be a socially conscious piece that poses significant questions to, particularly, the Africana Diaspora in a way that is both comedic and thought provoking. Editorial cartoons are interspersed throughout the book to bring a visual dimension to the thoughts, as well as laughter (ideally). The book safely exposes some topics that have become taboo in the Black community, or questions that are downright hard to ask by using satire, while at the same time, frankly and earnestly laying serious issues on the debate floor. Using statistics, deeply rooted cultural myths, and plain old common sense to build questions, the book hopes to be informative and reflexive, with the ultimate goal being for those who read it to become proactive. QEBPSAO takes familiar ideas, many unique to the Black American community, and questions their effect on the community's well being. Yes, it's another 'issues' book, but with panache.
