“Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation” is a book for all Americans. Well written, well reasoned, and well informed. As we are awash in disinformation, Blackout, grounded in historical fact, is a game-changer. This book is incredibly well written, well-reasoned, well-documented, and timely. Candace Owens can come off aggressive. However, if you actually listen to what she says, she is full of common sense. She is a no-nonsense voice in a world that is loud and distracting.

“The Known World” is a fiction novel that tells the story of a black African farmer, Henry Townsend. The author of this popular novel is Edward P. Jones. Jones writes numerous novel and has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, for fiction. Jones also received a MacArthur Fellowship in 2004. He has been an instructor of fiction writing at a range of universities, including Princeton. In “The Known World”, Jones describes a story of a black farmer, Henry Townsend. A farmer slave who garners his freedom and becomes the owner of his own southern anti-Bellum plantation and, curiously, master to a number of his own slaves. Around 1860, 28% of free blacks owned slaves as compared to 4.8% of southern whites so this is a very appropriate subject. Only the 1806 Act passed in Virginia that is referenced is historically correct. In addition, “The Known World” is a blockbusting novel to learn what that means, what is knowledge, what or who generates it, can it be trusted and how does it impact individual slaves. To sum it up, The Known World is a best-selling novel.

The “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing” is an African American Demographic book. Joy Degruy is the author of this book. In this book, Joy Degruy describes African American people. In 1865, Africa was hunted like animals, sold, tortured, captured, and raped. After reading this book, it will open reader eyes to consider how certain traits, attitudes, and behaviors have been passed down through generations. Multigenerational trauma due to 246 years of American Chattel Slavery and systematic racism has left a large seeping open wound in the minds, bodies, and souls of the descendants of American slaves. They have to focus on rebuilding their emotional physical mental and financial selves as well as their children. It is important to be aware that although most notable because they are Americans, Afro Americans have a different experience to various other groups of black people. I recommend this book for all community leaders, therapists, teachers, policymakers in order to stop the perpetuation of PTSS. To sum it up, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome is an informative history book for the reader about the African American community.
