Format:Hardcover
Absolutely fantastic! A must read for those looking for a taste of the history of (American) slavery, with a heavy dose of psychological theory and hypothesizing about current events and circumstances linked with Joys' personal experiences. As such, I found this book useful in the context of getting to know myself as a black woman, but also in my future clinical work as a psychologist.

I have watched the DVD, but referenced the book whilst writing my dissertation; I can only describe this book as a necessary part of any countries curriculum, of which historically descendents of slaves in large numbers reside. It's uplifting, informative, educational and undeniable! I LOVED IT! All should read! Get DVD if you can.

Best Book i have ever read
24 April 2008
Format:Hardcover
I read this book cover to cover in 2 sittings. It is just that fascinating and riveting. The author cites relevant patterns of behavior in African Americans that has a direct linkage back to mistreatment as an enslaved people who developed extraordinary survival coping strategies. This is the type of book that should be shared with family members or in book clubs. It should not be put on a coffee table to catch dust there are too many vital messages in these pages. Initially i was a little turned off by the title but now that i have completed reading the book the title makes complete sense and the research on the issue in this book is extraordinary and enlightening. AN OUTSTANDING BOOK THAT MUST BE READ!

A Necessary Accounting
7 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book is a healing work for any Blacks who have wondered about behaviors that seem natural to us and so different to whites. It is a history lesson a soothing salve and a book of hope for those in despair over the rising violence in inner cities as well as negative lifestyles. It is without equivocation a tour de force!!!
