Publisher's summary

Can I Be the Man?: A Letter from Us to You is exactly what the title implies. It is a letter written on behalf of African American men in an attempt to put an end to the feud between male and female, so the duality of relationships can be restored. It addresses some hard conversations that need to be discussed within African American culture and relationships. It allows men to be "naked and unashamed" in not only revealing their failures, but also identifying some of the deep-seeded desires African American men have for women.

From a much-needed apology from men to getting a better understanding of the inner workings of the heart of men to acknowledging that there are no good men, only men striving to be good, this work will touch the heart and mind of every woman that is currently in or desires to be in a harmonious relationship with an African American man.

By the end of the book, it will stimulate a much-needed dialog between African American men and women to bring about peace within their relationships and ultimately restore the fabric of their homes. With the duality of African American relationships restored, their families will be restored, which in turn will repair their communities and allow the needed unity within African American culture to stand together in solidarity.

Wow

There aren't many books in my library that I'll sit still and listen to in its entirety. It could've been the day or the forces that drove me to stop and focus but whatever the case, this book was so powerful in my opinion. It's not about a male female power differential or power exchange but more focused on US(duality) and how WE regain our power individually and collectively in order to preserve, rebuild and grow within our communities. For far to long there has been a battle btwn men and women causing the disfunction and dismantling of our communities and families as we're designed to have, and this book not only explore these topics but it triggers thought and begs the question: where do we go from here? I can't wait to read the next book. This is definately a tool to start a much needed honest conversation among us and build from there.
