Publisher's summary
The Black Male Handbook is a collection of essays for Black males on surviving, living, and winning. Kevin Powell taps into the social and political climate rising in the Black community, particularly as it relates to Black males. This is a must-have book, not only for Black male readers, but the women who befriend, parent, partner, and love them. The Black Male Handbook answers a collective hunger for new direction, fresh solutions to old problems, and a different kind of conversation -- man-to-man and with Black male voices. The book tackles issues related to political, practical, cultural, and spiritual matters, and ending violence against women and girls. Written by a stellar list of Black male leaders, this book comes at the perfect time-answering a collective hunger for new direction and fresh solutions to old problems of the Black community.
