This book gives a fictitous account of how slaves may have felt on their journey being stolen from their country (Africa) and being brought to a foreign one (America). It shows the pain, fear, sadness, and conformity that slaves went through in order to survive. The story than shows how one survival technique was to help their masters capture more slaves from Africa. One group of people came from the Bawss tribe who were a physically strong, powerful, and intelligent tribe. They refused to lay down and take the conditions that they were subjected to. Both men and women fron the Bawss tribe resisted and some of them did this up until their death.The second part of the story spans ahead a few hundred years to the 1960's. We meet the descendents of the Bawss tribe. We read about the racism still prevalent against African Americans and the hardships that are gone through in order to survive in a racist and sexist society. One Bawss descendant thinks that he`s the mastermind behind the crack cocaine epidemic (starts to feel remorse) but later finds out  that he was just a pawn in the goverments plan! This is where the conspiracy comes in because this has been a thought in the African American community for quite some time.Whether or not this is your type of book to read, it would still be a good idea to get this book because it will give you food for thought. Sometimes the most unlikely thoughts and ideas are completely true or partly true. Look through the eyes of a powerfully minded group of people. Step into the world of a Bawss!
