Thereafter, Robeson writes, "liberty meant the privileges to which the elite
minority was entitled." And as for freedom... we are still waiting for it.
In the tradition of Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk, Robeson's A Black Way of
Seeing melds history and analysis in a sweeping panaroma, scathing in its
understanding of why black empowerment has failed, prescient in its
articulation of what it will take for Black Americans to finally cross over to
the status of fully empowered citizens, and what the ramifications of this
change can be for the country as a whole.
Today no African-American elected on a Republican ticket sits in Congress. Most
Blacks do not trust President Bush, and are not inclined to believe anything he
says. When Black Americans begin to change the status quo, Robeson argues, they
will change not only their own status in America, but will help change this
whole country in the process.
Paul Robeson, Jr., son of the legendary Paul Robeson, served for more than 20
years as his father's close aide and personal representative. An esteemed
cultural critic, he has lectured across the United States and England and
appeared on radio and television programs across the globe. This is his third
book.
