Shaasha Barta

About the Book

Young Black males from their teens to their thirties have a difficult time in American society. Without a nurturing and protective culture or code of behavior they are lost. Black males don't seek conflict, they seek security. But nothing prevents them from being locked in an unending, inhumane struggle for survival. Shaasha Barta gives back a key that was lost during slavery: a code of honor and conduct that existed in the time of the great African empires; the key necessary for the restoration of dignity, honor and stability.

About the Author

The author, a graduate of CUNY, worked for some time with convicted juvenile felons.

He wrote the Shaasha Barta to reintroduce African values to Black males throughout the diaspora.
