Johnnie CorderoDr. Cordero was born and raised in the Bed-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York. He describes himself as being raised by his southern grandmother in a northern household. He considers himself an authentic product of the turbulent, transformative ixties. He refers to himself as "radical to my soul." His life has been an intermittent but consistent intellectual crossing of four streams of interest: power, mind, ancestral heritage and the search for solutions to the collective problems of African Americans. He believes that power or the lack of it is at the heart of everything important. His writing reflects the mind-set of one whose message is not about what to think but about developing critical thinking skills that will enable all Americans but particularlyAfrican Americans to attain power proportionality in America in the twenty-first century. Dr. Cordero resides in Columbia, South Carolina. Read More Read Less
