Book Reviews of Man Up! Nobody is Coming to Save Us
Book Review: Man Up! Nice Book with Standard Message
Summary: 4 Stars
Steve Perry offers some interesting yet conventional solutions to the all-to-common problems within the Black community. He mentions nothing groundbreaking, yet he seems like a quality man who actually cares about the Black community.Book Review: Responsibility
Summary: 4 Stars
Steve Perry doesn't mince words. He encourages people to take responsibility for the things that are under their control. There are problems in society and all of us need to work to make things better. Well-written!Book Review: Some good points....but not enough of them
Summary: 2 Stars
This book makes some good points, but to me, it discounts the affects of historical and present racism within the equation a little too much. One would think that Blacks in America are just inherently morally bankrupt from reading this book, and like my Grandfather always said "If your enemy likes what you are doing or saying, it's something wrong with what you are doing or saying". I'm sure that the racist elements within our society really LOVE what this author is saying and the way he is saying it. Mr. Perry, you are on the verge of becoming a Review: The Dream Can Still LiveSummary: 2 Stars Man Up has some wonderful points, however some of them are lost at times. The author spends a lot of time whining about problems that are prevalent in black society. Steve Perry does not provide a lot of solutions. The first couple of chapters are on point. The rest of the book reads like a research paper. If you are collecting data for a paper on why at risk students struggle in schools, this would be a good choice.
Book Review: Some good stuff, but still shucks away historical and present day systematic inequality
Summary: 2 Stars
This advice within this book is useful but at the same time Mr. Perry seems to be ignoring racism and the affects it has on the lives of African-Americans way too much. As if we live in a colorblind society already. I wholeheartedly disagree with this perspective that some blacks and whites are trying to push forward in this day and time.
