NEW BOOK EXAMINES MENTAL & SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF SLAVERY ON TODAY'S AFRICAN AMERICANS. The author states "We as a people have lost the knowledge of ourselves due to the experience of slavery. All that we are today is a reflection of what we have been taught by our former slave masters & their descendants." This collection of essays expands on the traditional perspective of bondage in America, that is, slavery affected African Americans more mentally & spiritually than it did physically. Each essay isolates an aspect of African-American life to reveal that those mental & spiritual effects still exist today. The writer challenges the logic & systems of ideas that underlie African-American thinking & behavior to prove how an oppressive society has distorted the human nature of a whole people. Omowale insists that "in the final analysis we must seek to make changes in ourselves...to correct in ourselves the psychological damages slavery imposed upon us." The BOOK OF THE LIVING DEAD is based substantially on the author's experiences in America's armed forces, educational institutions, & prisons.
