Cultural strength and resilience are crucial for the health of a community, particularly for African Americans facing systemic oppression. The book explores how ongoing exploitation undermines health and creates unique challenges. It posits that pursuing better health can serve as both a liberating goal and a means to empowerment, fostering mental, physical, and spiritual energy. By actively seeking improved health, individuals can challenge and dismantle colonial-like dependencies, promoting cultural stability and development.
