This book presents two ground-breaking lectures by Amos Wilson. The first, European Historiography and Oppression Exposed: An Afrikan Perspective and Analysis, was among the first contemporary analyses which delineated the role Eurocentric history-writing plays in rationalizing European oppression of Afrikan peoples and in the falsification of Afrikan consciousness. It explicates why we should study history, how history-writing shapes the psychology of peoples and individuals, how Eurocentric history as mythology creates historical amnesia in Afrikans in order to rob them of the material, mental, social and spiritual wherewithal for overcoming poverty and oppression. Moreover, this engrossing lecture fully exposes the relationship between the rediscovery and rewriting of Afirkan history and achievement of liberation and prosperity by Afrikan peoples.
The second lecture, Eurocentric Political Dogmatism: It’s Relationship to the Mental Health Diagnosis of Afrikan People. advances the contention that the alleged mental and behavioral maladaptiveness of oppressed Afrikan peoples is a political economic necessity for the maintenance of White domination and imperialism. Furthermore, it indicts the Eurocentric mental health establishment for entering into collusion with the Eurocentric political establishment to oppress and exploit Afrikan peoples by officially sanctioning these egregious practices through its misdiagnosing, mislabeling and mistreating of Afrikan peoples’ behavioral reactions to their oppression and their efforts to win their freedom and independence.

As described at African American Registry:
The first American Black Power Conference was held in the tradition of the Antebellum Black convention movementand the early Pan-African congresses. The National Conference on Black Power was a gathering of more than 1,000 delegates representing 286 organizations and institutions from 126 cities in 26 states, Bermuda, and Nigeria.
They met in Newark, New Jersey from July 20 to July 23, 1967, to discuss the most pressing African American issues of the day. The conference held workshops, presented papers for specific programs, and developed more than 80 resolutions calling for the emphasis of Black Power in political, economic, and cultural affairs.
Only one resolution, a Black Power Manifesto, won official approval, but others were adopted in “in spirit.” The Manifesto condemned “Neo-colonialist control” of Black populations worldwide and called for the circulation of a “Philosophy of Blackness” that would unite and direct the oppressed in a common cause.
