Publisher's Synopsis
The freedom, justice, and equality that African Americans so desperately fights for within America today began on the shores of Africa behind the walls of the medieval prison that held African captives for ships bound into slavery. The civil rights era brought light to the racial conflict and the many forms of oppression that people of color were forced to endure since being forcibly removed from their native lands and brought to America. But these traumas are still rampant within the lives of many people today. From poverty to police brutality, to mass incarceration, the American government offers very little solution's that will successfully help address the many ills that contributes to the social and economic problems that greatly effects people of color. Edward challenges society's myth that in the 21st century racism no longer exist within America. Packed with eye opening information and sensible advice Involuntary Servitude provides an history making analyst of the psychological, physical, and emotional traumas that people of color still face within America today.
