Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, Revised Edition: : America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and HealingIn the 16th century, the beginning of African enslavement in the Americas until the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment and emancipation in 1865, Africans were hunted like animals, captured, sold, tortured, and raped. They experienced the worst kind of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual abuse. Given such history, isn't it likely that many of the enslaved were severely traumatized?

In the 16th century, the beginning of African enslavement in the Americas until the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment and emancipation in 1865, Africans were hunted like animals, captured, sold, tortured, and raped. They experienced the worst kind of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual abuse. Given such history, isn't it likely that many of the enslaved were severely traumatized? And did the trauma and the effects of such horrific abuse end with the abolition of slavery?

Emancipation was followed by one hundred more years of institutionalized subjugation through the enactment of Black Codes and Jim Crow laws, peonage, convict leasing, domestic terrorism and lynching. Today the violations continue, and when combined with the crimes of the past, they result in yet unmeasured injury. What do repeated traumas, endured generation after generation by a people produce? What impact have these ordeals had on African Americans today?

Dr. Joy DeGruy, answers these questions and more. With over thirty years of practical experience as a professional in the mental health field, Dr. DeGruy encourages African Americans to view their attitudes, assumptions, and behaviors through the lens of history and so gain a greater understanding of how centuries of slavery and oppression have impacted people of African descent in America.

Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome helps to lay the necessary foundation to ensure the well-being and sustained health of future generations and provides a rare glimpse into the evolution of society's beliefs, feelings, attitudes and behavior concerning race in America.

Some errors, binding frightens me, story is good.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This hardcover collects Street Fighter Unlimited #1-4 of the ongoing series. The pages are not loose but you can see the binding very easily which frightened me a little on how I turned the pages. There are some grammatical errors that I started catching, I wish the editing team would have spent a little more time on it. I asked several people if what I read was correctly. I took a picture of one example of it as you can see on the attached pictures of the review. The story is basically Ryu, the Wandering Warrior questioning himself and seeking answers as he seeks balance. We learn of Gil's "Secret Society" and it leaves us with a cliff hanger. There was another story included that I had no idea where in the story it fit. It just gave me a "huh" moment. I look forward to reading Vol. 2 soon.

It's as good as you hope it will be
Format: Hardcover
Beautiful book, really enhances my enjoyment of the show. Find a review flip-through video. If that looks good to you, there's no way you'll be disappointed. If you're thinking of this as a gift, yes, it's a great one. The show is peak X-men, and the quality is to last the ages. All that comes through in the book, just a wonderful, loving production, of the best Marvel Studios has to offer.
