brother-to-brother as African American men.Let s talk openly and
honestly about what it means to be black men and American.We can no

men.This is a conversation that is long overdue. Let s talk
together and listen to one another.This is our time to talk instead
of being talked about.It is time for us to shed the unhealthy
images and opinions that we have accepted as the standards of what
it means to be Black men.The benefits of our talk will transform
our souls as well as benefit all the girls and women in our lives."
from the book"
In Lee Butlers own words, "This book is an attempt to answer the
question, Who are we as African Americans?" Attempting to answer
this question is one way we participate in the works of salvation.
Liberating Our Dignity, Saving Our Souls is a study of African
American identity aimed at pointing a way out of a current crisis
into a new liberation and salvation. Butler combines insights and
methodologies from developmental psychology, liberation theology,
and African and African American history to plot a new course for
contemporary African Americans to gain a sense of identity that
will guide them away from the identity the European and American
cultures have traditionally forced upon them. This involves
determining identity by personal worth, not by occupation, economic
class, or social class.
