{"product_id":"9780932863973","title":"The Black Book II: From Hajji Malik Al-Shabazz to Barack Obama","description":"The time has come for a realistic political dialogue between the American  national minorities and the dominant Anglo-American ethny.  The problematic that arises in what American presidents Clinton and Obama  have repeatedly called a \"one-nation one-state\" political system is: how will the  state assure and protect the unique needs and interests of its minorities,  particularly its historically oppressed national minorities? All black officials in the  United States government are in the same position as the president; they are  required to represent first of all the majority's interests. For a national minority to  be able to fully address its special needs (when it can find no specific  representation in the majority-dominated platform of either political party or the  policy agenda of government), it must seek to enjoy the full range of human and  civil rights, particularly the right to self-determination.    Hajji Malik Al-Shabazz understood that the African Americans were still in the grip  of American domestic colonialism. He feared that the majority ethny would prefer  to commit the violation of forced assimilation leading possibly to ethnocide rather  than to negotiate collective equal-status integration with the African American  national minority.  As the presidency of Barack Obama is demonstrating, electing a Black president  who is required to address the state's interest as a whole is not the answer for  improving the well being of African Americans.","brand":"Clarity Press, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132523692272,"sku":"9780932863973","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780932863973_p0.jpg?v=1763855443","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780932863973","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
