Blueprint
for Black Power details a master plan for the power revolution
necessary for Black survival in the 21st century. Blueprints posits that
an African American/Caribbean/Pan-African bloc would be most potent for
the generation and delivery of Black power in the United States and the
World to counter White and Asian power networks. Wilson frames this
imperative by deconstructing the U.S. elite power structure of
government, political parties, think tanks, corporations, foundations,
media, interest groups, banking and foreign investment particulars.
Potentially strong Black institutions as the church, media and think
tanks; industry; collectives such as investment clubs and credit unions;
rotating credit associations such as Afrikan-originated esusu, tontine
and partner are analyzed. Pan-Afrikanism, Black Nationalism,
ethnocentrism and reparation are assessed, often misused and underused
financial institutions as securities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds,
underwriting, and incubators advocated, thus elucidating oft-negated
opportunities for economic empowerment --- ---Dick Hertz
