Beskrivelse
Dr. Campbell's tome is a father's plea to his own sons and yours to be diligent, careful, and also the best possible version of themselves if they are to avoid the hurdles and pitfalls of simply happening to be young, black and male in a fractured society. Chola Chisengalumbwe (Zambia) Dr. Campbell brings several layers to his mediation on fathering a son into manhood. The book is part a spiritual and political reflection, part a letter to his son, and part an analysis of current social and political events, all grounded in his lived experiences as a single father, a man of African descent, a man brought up by a single mother in rural Jamaica, an immigrant to America, and an entrepreneur and academic. Campbell gives readers a far richer and more nuanced set of recommendations. His Talk is a talk worth talking about and sharing. This is indeed a book to celebrate because of its powerful celebration of fatherhood, black manhood, and spiritually centered living. -Dr. Donald Mager, PhD, retired Dean of Arts and Letters, Johnson C.
