Martin Luther King, Jr. & Malcolm X were voices of the '60s; these are the voices of the '90s. INVITATION TO A DISCUSSION's chapters are essay-like opinions on police brutality; why many African-Americans are "paranoid;" why they don't consider joining the mainstream; & why they are changing their names, keeping their events & publications, & are still dissatisfied with their lives in America, in the '90s, plus many more discussions. Chapters also consist of various POVs, comments, & resolutions with the names & ages of those participating in the discussions. Insightful & down-to-earth yet provocative, INVITATION is the quintessential book in one's attempt to educate himself or herself on the problems many African-Americans say contribute to their continuance to fall short of the American Dream. "A little but powerfully packed volume...The intent is clear: to present an honest & undiluted account of what black people think about race relations, & as such is a valuable start in improving those relations." -Book Editor, Little Rock's award-winning Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The "politically correct" to conservative talk-show listeners & all in between should find the many views & comments of African-Americans eye-opening & enlightening, even if they disagree.
