Robert Farris Thompson Speaks: Daughters of the Dust

[Oluwatoyin09]

Respectfully .. Please upload more Robert Farris Thompson. I've read his works. He gets it, and shares it, in a way that is not dehumanizing. It's as if he actually listened and digested without imposing his cultural view upon what he learned. Not sure who is walking with him (egun), but who(m)ever it is, sure led him right. :o)

at about 6:50 in he refers to a book that is coming out about the difference between white peoples dreams and black peoples dreams. Does anyone know what the title of that book is? Was it ever published?
