The late, Honorable Dr. Wilson was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 1941. Familiarly referred to
as Brother Amos, he provided the average person with an acute analysis of where we are and the
things that affect us. He served as a council to energize our race and those in positions of influence
as to how to carry out their leadership responsibilities. Dr. Wilson's activities transcended
academia into the fields of business, owning and operating various enterprises in the greater New
York area.
Dr. Wilson's Works:
The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child
THE E-BOOK
Are Black and White Children the same? Is the Black Child merely a White Child who
'happens' to be 'painted' Black? Are there any significant differences in the mental and
physical growth and development of Black and White Children? What effects does race
awareness have on the mental and personality development of Black Children? Are such
leisure time activities as the playing of certain games, watching TV., going to the movies,
listening to the radio, hazardous to the mental health of Black Children? Is the use of Black
English a sign of mental inferiority? Why do Black Children generally score lower than
White Children on I.Q. tests? Do Black parents socialize their children to be inferior to
White Children? Why have integrated schools and busing failed so many Black Children? If
you have been looking for a single source which deals with these and related controversial
questions from a black perspective, then this book may be the book for you. For between its
covers, The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child, the first of a UBCS series of
books dealing with the growth, development, and education of the black child, in a scholarly
but readily understandable way, forthrightly confronts these and other issues.
Awakening the Natural Genius of Black Children
THE E-BOOK
Afrikan children are naturally precocious and gifted. They begin life with a 'natural head
start.' However, their natural genius it too frequently underdeveloped and misdirected by
(1) the fact that the racist and imperialist status quo politically mandates their intellectual
under-achievement and social maladaptiveness; (2) belief in the myth that intelligence is
fixed at birth and that Afrikans are innately less intelligent than Europeans; (3) a lack of
knowledge of their positively unique developmental psychology; (4) a lack of confidence in
their ability to equal or surpass the intellectual performance of any other ethnic group; and
(5) the general lack of infant and early childhood educational experiences which stimulate,
sustain and actualize their abundant human potential. Awakening the Natural Genius of Black
Children provides effective means by which these political and social maladies may be fully
remedies. Intelligence is not fixed at birth. The quality of children’s educational
experiences during infancy and early childhood are substantially related to their measured
intelligence, academic achievement and prosocial behavior. In this volume, Amos N. Wilson,
author of the bestseller, The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child, surveys the daily
routines, child-rearing practices, parent-child interactions, games and play materials,
parent-training and pre-school programs which have made demonstrably outstanding and
lasting differences in the intellectual, academic and social performance of Black children.
Black-On-Black Violence: The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation
in Service of White Domination
THE E-BOOK
The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation in Service of White Domination represents a
distinct milestone in criminology and Afrikan Studies. Its explanatory perspectives on the
sociopsychological and politicoeconomic causes of Black-on-Black Violence are exceptionally
insightful, incisive and iconoclastic. The Psychodynamics of the Black-on-Black criminal are
presented here with a depth and clarity rarely seen before.
The main thesis of this book is that the operational existence of Black-on-Black in the
United States is psychologically and economically mandated by the White American-
dominated status quo. The criminalization of the Black American male is a psychopolitically
engineered process designed to maintain the dependency and relative powerlessness of the
Afrikan American and Pan-African communities.
Black-on-Black Violence, however, moves far beyond blaming the victimizer. Its meticulous
and painstaking exposure of the psycho-social and intrapsychical dynamics of Black-on-Black
criminality is startlingly revealing. Its analyses of the collective psyches of both the White
American and Black American communities are unsparingly and powerfully instructive. The
reader will not be left unmoved.
Although Professor Wilson argues that Black-on-Black Violence is orchestrated by White
America’s need to maintain its oppressive domination of Black America, and of Western
Europe’s need to continue-without end-its economic exploitation of Africa, he also contends
that the ending of Black-on-Black violence is the primary, if not sole, responsibility of
African people in America and abroad. This book, in revealing the anatomy of Black-on-Black
violence, simultaneously lays the practical, intellectual and political foundations for its social
eradication.
Understanding Black Male Adolescent Violence: Its Remediation and
Prevention
In this ground-breaking volume, Amos Wilson shows in brilliant detail how American society
creates and sustains Black-on-Black adolescent criminality in its inner-cities across the
United States. He boldly asserts that Black-on-Black adolescent violence is rooted in
historical and contemporary White-on-Black violence. He further argues that White-on-
Black violence induces in the Afrikan American community a pervasive false consciousness,
one which interacts with the adolescent crises of Black males and the socioeconomic
conditions which typify inner-city communities to spawn criminality and violence. More than
an explanatory analysis of Black male adolescent criminality, Understanding Black
Adolescent Male Violence provides very practical and workable remedial and preventative
approaches to this problem which threatens the vitality of the Afrikan American
community.
The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness: Eurocentric History,
Psychiatry, and the Politics of White Supremacy
This book presents two ground-breaking lectures by Amos Wilson. The first, European
Historiography and Oppression Exposed: An Afrikan Perspective and Analysis, was among
the first contemporary analyses which delineated the role Eurocentric history-writing plays
in rationalizing European oppression of Afrikan consciousness. It explicates why we should
study history, how history-writing shapes the psychology of peoples and individuals, how
Eurocentric history as mythology creates historical amnesia in Afrikans in order to rob
them of the material, mental, social and spiritual wherewithal for overcoming poverty and
oppression. Moreover, this engrossing lectures the relationship between the rediscovery and
rewriting of Afrikan history and achievement of liberation and prosperity by Afrikan
peoples. The second lecture, Eurocentric Political Dogmatism: Its Relationship to the Mental
Health Diagnosis of Afrikan People, advances the contention that the alleged mental and
behavioral maladaptiveness of oppressed Afrikan peoples is a political-economic necessity
for the maintenance of White domination and imperialism. Furthermore, it indicts the
Eurocentric mental health establishment for entering into collusion with the Eurocentric
political establishment to oppress and exploit Afrikan peoples by officially sanctioning these
egregious practices through its misdiagnosing, mislabeling, and mistreating of Afrikan
peoples’ behavioral reactions to their oppression and their efforts to win their freedom and
independence.
Blueprint for Black Power: A Moral, Political, and Economic Imperative for
the Twenty-First Century
Blueprint for Black Power details a master plan for the power revolution necessary for Black
survival in the 21st century. Blueprints posits that an African American/Caribbean/Pan-
African bloc would be most potent for the generation and delivery of Black power in the
United States and the World to counter White and Asian power networks. Wilson frames
this imperative by deconstructing the U.S. elite power structure of government, political
parties, think tanks, corporations, foundations, media, interest groups, banking and foreign
investment particulars. Potentially strong Black institutions as the church, media and think
tanks; industry; collectives such as investment clubs and credit unions; rotating credit
associations such as Afrikan-originated esusu, tontine and partner are analyzed. Pan-
Afrikanism, Black Nationalism, ethnocentrism and reparation are assessed, often misused
and underused financial institutions as securities, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, underwriting,
and incubators advocated, thus elucidating oft-negated opportunities for economic
empowerment.
Afrikan-Centered Consciousness versus The New World Order: Garveyism
in the Age of Globalism
In two masterful lectures contained within the pages of this modest text, Dr. Wilson
challenges the all too pervasive assumption and false perception that the "New World
Order" is somehow ordained -- that if Afrikan people are to progress, they have no other
alternative but to remain colonized by White-Western interests. This of course is patently
false. Dr. Wilson debunks this myth with an insightful analysis of the Legacy of Marcus
Garvey and the proven validity of Afrikan-Centered Consciousness as necessary
psychological and material tools in the struggle for true liberation.
