Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu builds directly upon his "Conspiracy" series to tackle a specific national crisis: why nearly half of all African American males do not graduate from high school. The text serves as an analytical roadmap, identifying 10 core causes for high dropout rates and counter-balancing them with over 30 concrete solutions. Kunjufu stresses that educational restoration begins at home, noting schools control a child's time only 9% of the year from infancy to age 18. He challenges parents to run a literal inventory: count the number of books in the house versus the number of entertainment media items. What sits inside the home dictates the type of student who walks out of it
