Kola Boof

Why is Kola Boof famous?

One of the reasons remains this landmark essay that caused an uproar in the black literary community and launched immeasurable controversy long before the Bin Laden scandal.

Written as a letter to Boof's young sons, THE AUTHENTIC BLACK MAN is a powerful, daring, risky exploration of the history of Black men and Black women and what Kola Boof forsees as the future battle of the African diaspora.

To create a full KINDLE BOOK, the essay is followed up by other writings from Kola Boof--including the essay "God Is A Black Man", Boof's 2003 speech in Israel and much more. This is an anthology of her works filling 100 pages.

WARNING: Contains frank and explicit discussions of race, sex and political observations that might be offensive to some readers.
