Summary:
Cognitive therapy and self-empowerment go hand in hand in this
powerful treatise of what it means to be a modern Black woman. For
all of its power, A Black Woman's Worth: My Queen and Backbone by
psychotherapist and activist Dwayne L. Buckingham is a surprisingly
candid and succinct treatise that shows readers how to initiate
meaningful inner dialogue and change to transform themselves--and
their communities. Positive and uplifting, this self-improvement
guide is not without controversy, and it asks some hard-hitting
questions: Are today's Black women's values different than our
ancestors? Are Black women the backbone of the Black community? And,
are today's Black women worthy of being called Queens? In six fully
annotated chapters, the author examines history, sociology, and
Biblical inferences to transport readers to an esoteric and concrete
place where a proud African-American tradition meets the modern world
that has witnessed Black communities corrupted by indifference and
neglect. Beginning with a thoroughly refreshing chapter, "Transformed
by Knowledge and Wisdom," the author further pushes the envelope in
"Change Your Attitude" and "Love Yourself Unconditionally." He
directs readers to look at mindsets, typecasts, and history in a
whole new light, which proves to be as empowering as it is
informative. Here it is, the truth that each of us is a part of
history and each of us has an opportunity to make history.
