Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Black Male Handbook is a collection of essays for Black males on surviving, living, and winning. Kevin Powell taps into the social and political climate rising in the Black community, particularly as it relates to Black males. This is a must-have book, not only for Black male readers, but the women who befriend, parent, partner, and love them. The Black Male Handbook answers a collective hunger for new direction, fresh solutions to old problems, and a different kind of conversation — man-to-man and with Black male voices, all of the hiphop generation. The book tackles issues related to political, practical, cultural, and spiritual matters, and ending violence against women and girls. The book also features an appendix filled with useful readings, advice, andresources. The Black Male Handbook is a blueprint for those aspiring to thrive against the odds in America today. Synopsis:Powell, widely considered one of America's most important voices, brings together a powerful chorus of black men to address the most burning issues facing black males today--young and old.
