Alvin Morrow

This book was a tremendous disappointment. While he gets many things right, regarding the intergenerational trauma and cycles of disempowerment, he tends to blame much of it on Black Women, and shows a strong homophobic streak as well. He asserts that (and he seems to be very much a Christian fundamentalist type) independent Black Women are a source of division and also undermine Black men, which is both false and hurtful to both Black men and Black women.
