This book is considered must reading for anyone involved in the education ofblacks living in white dominated countries. The author does well to point outthe shortcomings of a Eurocentric teaching structure that leaves outconsideration for black culture and heritage. This has resulted in blacks beingtruly miseducated and has caused many to live in complete contradiction totheir own best interests. Woodson outlines how and why the mainstreameducational system damages the personal growth of blacks and how the blame canbe equally placed on black professionals those who become successful andenter into a corporate world that helps only themselves without making anyeffort to align black education properly. This book strongly points out theimportance of black history and culture and its absence in mainstreameducation systems. «
