Who IZ the Boulè?: The History of America's First Black Fraternity and the Derailment Toward Afrikan Self-Reliance
We will be reading my 5th book, 'Who IZ the Boulé?: The History of America's First Black Fraternity and the Derailment Toward Afrikan Self-Reliance'
I. ABOUT THE BOOK:
Who IZ the Boulé? chronologically details the historic timeline of America's first black fraternity and their unsavory quest to be a black version of Skull & Bones of Yale University.
Written by M’Bwebe Ishangi, this book details over twenty years of research and first-hand experience with the intent of offering a side of organized academic and cultural intelligentsia responsible for the derailment of Afrikan people toward self-reliance from Alexander the (not so) Great to W.E.B. DuBois. Many of our black organizations today were founded by the actual individuals responsible for the intergenerational mental, spiritual, and socioeconomic conditions we’ve endured that has had a polarizing effect on how we see ourselves in the world.
What’s alarming is black individuals and organizations had to be created in order for the practice to be sustained.
From century-plus-old groups and organizations like the NAACP, Urban League, Black Fraternity & Sororities, on down to Jack & Jill, this book takes a critical (third) eye look at their origin and behavior raising a valid argumentative points on whether they should be considered friend of foe when it comes to the emancipative freedoms that have yet to be delivered to Black peope around the world.
