My dear brother.

I think the essence of your idea can be summed up in the following extract:

"...we should look carefully at what has transpired - what has happened - here and learn from it. We must take stock of our mistakes and make sure that they do not repeat. We must look at our positive achievements and build on them now while the images are fresh and clear in our minds. Mistakes such as allowing our enemies to spend days looking down on our village, observing us and reporting back. It would have been impossible for them to strike us so accurately otherwise. Mistakes such as depending on any one person's interpretation of anything no matter how reliable or accurate he or she may have been in the past.

"We have to build on our positive achievements such as the MKG. We must aim to give every person, regardless of age, an active role as an MKG warrior to the fullness of their ability. And we have to improve our already good communication system by more effectively integrating our so-called 'primitive communication' with later forms, to a level that can not only compete with but surpass-"

That observation captures the essence of historical materialism and its role in our global national liberation struggle and speaks to the need for communicative acumen... as the book demonstrates this is a big part of what we need to move out of absolute human degradation into the fresh dawn of free men and women.

Some people obviously will find some of the sexual imagery too much for their personal sensibilities...I would suggest that a sound niche marketing strategy should be developed that takes this into consideration.

As far as the general/macro plot development...it is reminiscent of the Nation of Islam approach to miscegenation and ignorance of self...

The book seems most oriented to young African males who have yet to totally
figure out the source of their anger and have not decided how to address our
oppression and exploitation ...the same audience that the NOI aims its
information of this type
