American Frankenstein is laced with reflective images and selective historical details. The book paints a clear picture of the causal factors resulting in today's African American existence. It should educate the masses on the root causes for the African American condition and why African Americans represent either a vastly untapped pool of American human capital, or a huge catalyst in the nation's downward social spiral. The book also has the potential to spark a new wave of dialog and debates about racial relations, history and diversity.
