We Fish

A must-read. The Daniel men have given us a wise, sensitive—and, at times, hilarious—book about the nurturing and bonding of African American men. It is a soulful, spell-binding tale of the journey to manhood across generations. Through trash talking, analyses of the social landscape, and the best poetry I've seen in a long time, the book teaches us what it means to train up a black male child in these times.

A remarkable achievement. A rare literary conversation, with audacity and authenticity, between a father and son, this book is certain to become a classic.

"This is a crisp, creative, dual memoir written with purpose born of hope — that the candid story of an African-American father and son coming to understand each other would instruct and perhaps inspire all fathers to take an active interest in the upbringing of their children".

A story well told about a father and son's enjoyment of fishing, but it's deeeper than that. The authors break down and destroy the negative stereotypes associated with African-American men. This masterfully written book contains stories that put you right in the action. . . . This powerful book encourages family, trust, knowledge and, more importantly, the ingredients to change the lives of African-american males for this generation, and those to come. It is an excellent book for our time, and a must read!

An excellent and delightful autobiography, a book any man, white or black, who is concerned about being a father and who likes to fish, write poetry, or hunt could learn from. Like Langston Hughes's "The Big Sea', Dr. Daniel's book captures one with its humor, honesty, and depth of understanding.

An unapologetically honest and soulful masterpiece.
