The Black Family: towards more self-love

in ancient times the Black Family had plenty of self-love, strong family ties because of a family-first way of life. The black family was broken apart to strengthen the atrocities of Slavery and the effects of this fragmentation created a psycho-spiritual brokenness which extsts in the American black family today. Also in the past fifty years the whole family system in america has suffered a breakdown as America is become a me-first society. In this book Asher points out with essays and poems that self-love mixed with a family-first devotion is the only solution for black people and black communities to rise to the top in the American society.
