Xodus: An African American Male Journey
In a bold, inventive style, Xodus
addresses the increasingly perilous
situation of black males by sifting
critically through the mythic, cultural, and
political realities that impinge on African
American men, and discerning in them
ultimate religious and ethical values that
can affirm and inform new black male
lifestyles.

Endorsements
"The first constructing theological ethics relative to the survival, wholeness, and emancipation of the black man, Xodus redefines the foundational terms of the debate around the radical reconstruction of the African male self in America. And it reads persuasively—like the piano sounds of a blues-jazz-funk musician."
