Unabridged version of The Mis-Education of the Negro, by Carter Godwin Woodson, offered here for chump change. An underappreciated classic, anyone studying influence, the psychology of persuasion, or social controls would do well to study this book.
Woodson states it straight and deserves greater study by all in power, "When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his 'proper place' and will stay in it."
For those that read The Art of War, The Prince, Meditations, or How to Win Friends and Influence People, this book, The Mis-Education of the Negro, should be added to their book shelf of classics
