Publisher's Synopsis
This edited volume documents the reflections of a Black American family as we navigate a global pandemic and racial uprisings in America. We go back to our father's text, Phoenix Arising: A Psycho-Cultural Perspective on African American Issues Up to the 21st Century. The text was originally written as a series of newspaper articles and movie reviews in the late '80s, then self-published by our father, Dr. Maxie T. Collier, under the pen name Kamau Collier in 1990. Through various essays, several generations of the Collier family revisit the lessons, hopes and dreams delineated for us and we reimagine a legacy for the next generation.
