This book describes the young black male crisis, why we are largely unfamiliar with the story of the black superman, and why this matters to contemporary debates. It does so by returning to the work of those original black social scientists to explore the ways in which they understood the challenges of black manhood, offered substantive critiques of the nation's race, class, and gender systems, and worked to construct a progression.
"The book's strength exists in its author's extensive knowledge of African American intellectual history and familiarity with social scientific studies concerning African Americans." -- Y. Kiuchi, Michigan State University
