Summary

Self-reflection and spiritual growth establishes a solid foundation in this prevailing narrative of what it means to be a contemporary Black male. Life changing, A Black Man's Worth: Conqueror and Head of Household by psychotherapist and advocate Dwayne L. Buckingham is an astonishingly truthful and concise narrative that illustrates for Black males how to become R.E.A.L. men by conquering internalized oppression. Impactful and spiritual, this life-changing guide is the key to world-shattering change for Black males, and it asks some profound questions: Are Black males capable of conquering internalized oppression? Are Black males capable of providing for and protecting their family? And, are today's Black males capable of coping with adversity positively? In seven mind-blowing chapters, the author explores psychological, environmental, and spiritual dilemmas to move readers to an eye-opening understanding of how Black males have been mentally handicapped and traumatized by means of oppression and injustice throughout America's history. Beginning with a thoroughly invigorating chapter, "Does My Life Have Meaning," the author further pushes the envelope in "Be Realistic" and "Love Unconditionally." He instructs readers how to look at the psychological, behavioral and environmental dispositions of Black males and American history in a whole new light, highlighting struggles as well as successes.
