By Rodion
- Release Date: 2018-01-02
- Genre: Social Science
Description
Written during his senior year of college, Rodion’s 2011 thesis inquires into the dilemmas faced during the maturation of the black male in America through the examination of events in his own life as well as the review of literature by authors such as Carter G. Woodson, W.E.B. Dubois, Na’im Akbar, and Frederick Douglass. The Dichotomy of Black Consciousness juxtaposes the experience of the athlete with that of the academic, and analyzes the relationship between the two in order to uncover the true nature of the dichotomy and better understand the self as a whole.

3By weel kuangaThe fact is that American societies have suddenly got caught up with this our actual culturally disfigured post colonial period of our lives, and then uniquely; some of us have already started realizing the ‘complexiness’, which has led us all, into this conflictive rational, and it’s consequentially dangerous ramifications…Ten out of Ten
