About time we get back onto some BUILDING topics about now...

My recommendation:

Polics of Black Nationalism, From Harlem to Soweto by KNIFE ABRAHAM (reading it now)

Light from Ancient Africa by Naim Akbar (classic study for black psychologists)

Yurugu by Marimba Ani (always a good reference for understanding European behavior from afrikan perspective)

Makes Me Wanna Holler : A Young Black Man in America -- Nathan McCall (nice beginnning book for african american studies)

Malcolm X autobiography (no explanation needed) (reading AGAIN right now)

Assata: An Autobiography by Assata Shakur

Negroes by Larry Crawford
