About the Book

As the cover illustrates, impoverished laborers and enslaved laborers of America's southern society shared commonalities and cultural attributes that were not shared by those in America's northern society. Our Two Societies takes the reader on a journey through a childhood spent in a deteriorating Detroit, Michigan and a young adult life spent in a vibrant Japan only to rediscover two societies in America. You'll feel as if you're right alongside the author as he encounters the ills and pitfalls awaiting him in one of these societies. You will also feel inspired as he embraces the possibilities awaiting him and everyone else in the other society. Our Two Societies shows how certain cultural attributes that predate America are still very influential in modern day America. It also shows how those who have inherited or embraced certain aspects of one society will be ill-prepared to compete in a free market increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence and automation. If you are looking for a thought-provoking great story to read and then share look no further.

Review :
2017 Indie Box of the Year Review "Racism is real but WE are all stronger than racism." -- OnlineBookClub.org Official Review: Our Two Societies by Andre Davis Andre Davis was born in Detroit, Michigan in the early 1970s. Our Two Societies is his story. In this autobiography, he tackles the ever-present topic of racism. While doing so, he discusses the importance of acquiring the skills needed in a free market society. It is within this free market society that Andre Davis believes America's greatness lies. Andre Davis was prompted to write this autobiography after developing concerns about the future of America's workforce. In his own words, "America is still the land of opportunity for opportunist[s]." This book is emotional and gripping. There were occasions when I was near tears. Can you imagine being treated better in a foreign country than in your own homeland? As a minority, I am no stranger to racism, but I cannot pretend to know what our author was going through while growing up. I can only empathize, open my eyes and heart, and keep raising my children as loving and open-minded people. The publication of this book is definitely timely. The reader is given insight into the racial and social inequalities of today's America. Although the subject can often be complex, this book is highly approachable. I had difficulty even putting it down. As far as my recommendations go, I simply think everyone should read this book. Normally, I do not make such blanket recommendations. However, that is the impact this book has had on me. I think you should read it. After that, I think you should loan the book to family and friends. Hummingbird Wings 5.0 out of 5 starsOh! How Excellent! August 11, 2017 Absolutely Amazing! I could not put this book down. Read it well into the night and woke up anticipating reading it some more! The wittiness of the author is carried through each chapter with sarcasm and comedic relief as he describes some very heavy and at times scary life situations. His writing style is so descriptive that reading catapults you back into time as if you are walking along side of him through each life experience and each life phase. Splendid read!
