What People Are Saying About 'Should America Pay?':
August, 2003, Should America Pay? makes Essence Magazine's Bestsellers List for non-fiction.
"This book is simply the best treatment of the reparations movement available in print. Don't miss it!
--- Cornel West, Princeton University
"If you've been following the debate over reparations for the enslavement of African Americans (and especially if you haven't or if you're wondering why this debate has come about), be sure to read the many fine pieces collected in "Should America Pay." African American scholars and activists weigh in on all sides of the question: pros, cons, means of reparation and rationale.
Readers will come away much better educated about the consequences of slavery, the legal basis for the reparation arguments and the ways in which the reparations debate could lead to a stronger, more unified nation in
which opportunities are more truly equal for all people. Read this before you decide what you think about the reparations question."
Karen Maeda Allman,
The Elliott Bay Book Company, Seattle, WA.
"'Should America Pay?' offers a comprehensive look at a topic of increasing importance. The inclusion of dissenting voices and historical documents makes the argument for reparations even more urgent and cmpelling. An indispensble text."
Herb Boyd, co-editor of Brotherman; The Odyssey of Black Men in America

What People Are Saying About 'The Warrior Method':
"The Warrior Method provides step-by-step guidance for parents, brothers, sisters, relatives-anyone committed to helping young black men improve their knowledge, attitude, and behavior in spite of what may seem insurmountable obstacles."
Samuel Hingha Pieh, great grandson of Joseph Cinque, leader of the Amistad rebellion
"The Warrior Method is a sonnet, a love poem, to the lost sons of Africa, long scattered like leaves by a hurricane. As have many before him, Ray Winbush has dedicated his life to finding and returning every single misplaced leaf. This book, in a way, begins an important part of that process. It is we who will determine how it ends."
Harry Allen, hip-hop artist and media assassin
