Annual Letter and Reading List for 2020

Sicebise Msengana



This year has been very tough, especially with the pandemic of corona virus which has swept across globally and taken so many innocent lives. It is very saddened to witness to grieving process during this time. Hopefully next year is going to be better than this one. 

Here's my annual BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
"BLUEPRINT FOR BLACK POWER"
---------------------------------
"The most powerful obstacle against the liberation of Afrikan peoples from white domination and exploitation is not the ability of whites to use superior military or police firepower or the threat to use it against Afrikan insurgency, but is their ability to engage in unrelenting psychopolitical violence against the collective Afrikan psyche. It is the white monopoly on psychic violence and their devastatingly
ingenious use of it against the minds of Afrikan people which represent the greatest threat to Afrikan survival.

The ultimate force in the world is the force of the mind. When that force is defeated, all is lost.
Dominant whites have used words and symbols to violently and unrelentingly attack oppressed Blacks in a thousand and one nefarious ways, including the projection of dehumanizing stereotypes and caricatures
of them, the falsification of their history and culture; the miseducation of Blacks; and the
engaging in chronic derisive media attacks on their morals, behavior, intelligence, ways
of life, sexuality, physical features, motives and values.

The final end of the violent white-instigated psychic assaults against the collective psyche of Blacks is to induce in them states of false
consciousness, self-alienation and self- hatred so as to irreparably impair their capacity to overthrow their white oppressors through the mobilization of their human and material resources.
...by these means Blacks are unwittingly manipulated into forming alliances with their oppressors and exploiters in disempowering themselves and in empowering those who dominate and exploit them all the more." --- Dr. Amos Wilson "Blueprint for Black Power", pp. 11-12, 2000.
THE DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY OF THE BLACK CHILD:
I picked this seminal and thought-provoking work last Summer (2018). But it will be difficult to understand the overall message if one lacks concise knowledge of Afrikan history... "We must understand that complete AFRICAN DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY to better
understand OUR and OUR CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY, but we've failed to do so... You have a school system
that's based upon the psychology of white children and white people and you're trying to educate your children based on that model; THEY'RE BOUND TO FAIL! It has a BUILT-IN FAILURE MECHANISM, one way or the other (OTHER-DIRECTEDNESS). "- Dr. Amos Wilson, "THE DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY OF THE BLACK CHILD."
