When I first thought about writing this, I have to be honest and state that I was a little afraid to mess it up. I would think about if I missed something or offended someone, nevertheless I just had to do it. I remember reading The Message to The Black Man in America and wondered why wasn't there something for black women. Then not wanting to offend Elijah Muhammad's followers I became more at odds with my decision, but thinking about my sisters I just had to do it. I reflected on all of the things that the black woman in America goes through. True, other women in the world go through trials and tribulations, as well as have dreams and aspirations, but I believe that no one deserved a one on one more than the black woman in America. Why? I truly believe such, for starters, is that I'm black and that I was raised by a black woman. In our culture it is usually the black woman who raises the black boy to be a man - which is sad but true. It is usually the black woman who is the first teacher. But then it is the black woman who is constantly disrespected. Then of course, it is usually the black woman who has to save the day. Then - honestly, for we must always be honest, right? Who can even compare to the black woman in America? It was the black woman who used to push to slaves to fight for their freedom. It was the black woman who sparked a rebellion and organized sit downs so that we today can eat in restaurants - even when we were considered free. It was the black woman who fought to abolish the lynching of blacks in the south. It was a black woman who pushed a black man become the president of the United States of America.Black queens, I ask that if I have forgotten something or even offend you in the slightest to forgive me for that is not my intention. For my sincere intention is to just have a little one on one with you out of respect. I've compiled this message so that it is short so it does not take much of your time...but I pray that you get something from it.Peace and love.Your brother,Jonah Sanders

According to countless mainstream news organs, Elijah Muhammad, by far, was the most powerful black man in America. Known more for the students he produced, like Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan and Muhammad Ali, this controversial man exposed the black man as well as the world to a teaching, till now, was only used behind closed doors of high degree Masons and Shriners. An easy and smart read. The book approaches the question of what and who is God. It compares the concept held by religions to nature and mathematics. It also explores the origin of the original man, mankind, devil, heaven and hell. Its title, Message To The Blackman, is directed to the American Blacks specifically, but addresses blacks universally as well.

The patriarchal structure of the Nation of Islam (NOI) promised black women the prospect of finding a provider and a protector among the organization's men, who were fiercely committed to these masculine roles. Black women's experience in the NOI, however, has largely remained on the periphery of scholarship. Here, Ula Taylor documents their struggle to escape the devaluation of black womanhood while also clinging to the empowering promises of patriarchy. Taylor shows how, despite being relegated to a lifestyle that did not encourage working outside of the home, NOI women found freedom in being able to bypass the degrading experiences connected to labor performed largely by working-class black women and in raising and educating their children in racially affirming environments. Telling the stories of women like Clara Poole (wife of Elijah Muhammad) and Burnsteen Sharrieff (secretary to W. D. Fard, founder of the Allah Temple of Islam), Taylor offers a compelling narrative that explains how their decision to join a homegrown, male-controlled Islamic movement was a complicated act of self-preservation and self-love in Jim Crow America.

Despite recent advances in the study of black thought, black women intellectuals remain often neglected. This collection of essays by fifteen scholars of history and literature establishes black women's places in intellectual history by engaging the work of writers, educators, activists, religious leaders, and social reformers in the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean. Dedicated to recovering the contributions of thinkers marginalized by both their race and their gender, these essays uncover the work of unconventional intellectuals, both formally educated and self-taught, and explore the broad community of ideas in which their work participated. The end result is a field-defining and innovative volume that addresses topics ranging from religion and slavery to the politicized and gendered reappraisal of the black female body in contemporary culture. Contributors are Mia E. Bay, Judith Byfield, Alexandra Cornelius, Thadious Davis, Corinne T. Field, Arlette Frund, Kaiama L. Glover, Farah J. Griffin, Martha S. Jones, Natasha Lightfoot, Sherie Randolph, Barbara D. Savage, Jon Sensbach, Maboula Soumahoro, and Cheryl Wall.
