Book Reviews of Come On People: On the Path from Victims to Victors
Book Review: Old, but still good news
Summary: 5 Stars
For peope who are up on their African-American history and who are already involved in the struggle to make changes in our community, this book is a let-down because it's nothing we haven't heard before. I think it's time we find current African-Americans (like Bill Cosby) and others in the 21st century to give credence to when stating a point-- unless there are so few we can't name them or their accomplishments. Not that Martin L. King and Rosa Parks and the other great African-Americans and their accomplishments during the civil rights era aren't worthy of mention but, did our successes as a people stop there? The battle is not over and was not won with those past victories. Yet, many have cooled their heels on those successes and and act as if we, as a people, can't do more. All-in-all, it's a good start for those just starting their inquiry into life in the African-American community.
Summary of Come On People: On the Path from Victims to Victors
Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint have a powerful message for families and communities as they lay out their visions for strengthening America, or for that matter the world. They address the crises of people who are stuck because of feelings of low self-esteem, abandonment, anger, fearfulness, sadness, and feelings of being used, undefended and unprotected. These feelings often impede their ability to move forward. The authors aim to help empower people make the daunting transition from victims to victors. Come On, People! is always engaging, and loaded with heart-piercing stories of the problems facing many communities.Motivational Books
