Writing at The Crossroads: Black World Essays is an interdisciplinary collection of essays shaped by the forces that gave rise to the Modern Black Studies Movement. The essays trace both the development of the Black Studies Movement, and the evolution of one of the discipline's important scholar-practitioners-Dr. Norman Harris. The essays are introduced by a prologue that establishes a framework consistent with the way African people have traditionally made sense of the world. From there, Harris uses Karenga's Nguzo Saba to organize the essays into three sections. The first section of essays is titled, "Kujichagulia and Literary Analysis;" the second section is titled "Nia: From theory to Practice;" and the third section is titled "Imani: Situating 21st Century Learning." Together, these three sections chart a path from more or less traditional academic scholarship to forms of scholarship, advocacy and institution building that are the cornerstone of the Black Studies Movement. This is an important book for any one wishing to understand the development of Black Studies, and Black Intellectual History.

In his compelling new book, Norman Harris portrays Harmony, Wisdom and Power as timeless Griots capable of awakening the masses of Zombies created by our society. Only Harmony, Wisdom and Power can bring sanity and balance to a world with "an educational system that has expelled learning from school; networks of media that are fat with facts but malnourished with meaning; and systems of control that train people to think and act in a manner that not only insure their continued control, but that makes them complicit in the shortcomings the system assures."

Offers a stimulating analysis of a period of American history through the literary art it produced. Norman Harris focuses on how Afro-Americans involved in the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power movement, or the Vietnam War either failed or achieved in making sense of their lives when the goals they struggled for were not accomplished.
