Charles M. Blow Bücher

From journalist and New York Times bestselling author Charles Blow comes a powerful manifesto urging Black Americans to amass political power and combat white supremacy. While race is a social construct, racism is an undeniable reality. The goal is not to create a new racial hierarchy but to dismantle the existing one. After centuries of waiting for white majorities to address white supremacy, Blow asserts that the responsibility now lies with Black individuals to effect change themselves. He never intended to write a "race book," but the escalating violence against Black people, particularly during the pandemic and protests of 2020, compelled him to craft a new narrative. This work serves as a passionate corrective to the myths surrounding race and geography in America. Drawing from political insights and his experiences as a Black man from the South, Blow offers a call to action for Black people to pursue equality on their own terms. He argues that achieving lasting change requires a significant shift in power. This groundbreaking manifesto presents an audacious strategy for Black empowerment, serving as a grand exhortation to generations and providing a roadmap to true freedom.
