Publisher 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.

A must read.
This piece speaks directly to the heart of what ails each and every person in the Black community today, myself included. Inspiring, illuminating and informative, I could not put it down until I reached the end. You will not regret picking it up. Trust me!

I like how informative this was, in the same breath it was in plain words. So anyone could understand that point the author was making.
wonderful
i like the knowledge and perspective it gave me. this book answered why myself, my dad struggled with identity. and why he could not give me the answer more thoroughly. i survive and want to keep fighting, others do not. Thank you for giving the strength and opportunity and courage back to many individuals like myself. thank you
