1. Do you know about a new book on Dr. Clarke titled John Henrik Clarke and the Power of Africana History: Africalogical Quest for Decolonization and Sovereignty (Africa World Press, 2009)? It just so happens that I wrote it.

   Despite Dr. Clarke’s popularity among our people all across the country, it appears the book’s existence is virtually unknown among those who love and respect Dr. Clarke. It is the first book-length, critical academic study of him ever.

   Privately, Runoko Rashidi assessed: “It is an excellent work!.”

   One reviewer (at amazon.com) said: “This book is the best book written on John Henrik Clarke so far. This book focuses more on what made Dr. Clarke as an academic and activist and less about his upbringing as a child, so if you think you already have a book on Clarke and you do not need another one think again.”

   Another reviewer (at amazon.com) said of it: “I thought I knew a lot about John Henrik Clarke before reading this book.”

   I am urging you to pick up the book at a library, or a book store, read it, and tell others about it, especially those interested in Dr. Clarke. I believe you will find it informative and a fitting tribute to the man and his labor of love for us.

   One of the reviewers cited above also wrote of it: “Toure’s intellectually thorough work is Afrocentric without apology. For John Henrik Clarke, it’s a quite appropriate lens.”
