black people developed what my colleague darlene calls parallel institution as a measure of self defense. black schurches and black professional organizations. it was found because we were excluded from white organizations that were part of the project. segregation moves to be the achilles' heels. and developing a range of institutions that they control. it allows blacks to define whites and be inspired by whites of white americans and african-american to primitive premodern existence. black people realized that groups were stronger than individual strengths. group accomplishments went further. it was our exclusion that created our country, our black unity and black community. black is a country is the notion of black people, not as the imagine community. as people who have been separated from whites were will ing in the '50s and '60s pleading for their right. steven hahn traces this black nation back to the day before freedom, a nation under our feet is the title. looking at the early conversations between father and son, we see a son ready to embrace black identity and equip with a son

black people developed what my colleague darlene clark calls parallel institution as a measure of self-defense. black sororities and fraternities, black colleges, the black church, black professional organizations were founded because we were excluded from white organizations that were part of the modernity project. segregation proved to be the achilles heel of white supremacy. it provided blacks the chance, indeed the imperative, to develop a range of distinct institutions that they controlled. it allowed blacks to defy whites and become modern in spite of white americans' desire to confine african-americans to a primitive, premodern existence. black unity was essential to the black modernity because black people realized that group strength was stronger than individual strength. group accomplishments went further than individual accomplishments. it was our exclusion that created, quote, unquote, our country, our black unity, our black community. at the center of the book "black is a country" is the notion of black people not as an imagined community as benedict anderson would have it, but as
