Prof. George Nyamndi is a brilliant scholar and social commentator whose writing engages the age-old issues of race, identity, and historical responsibility. In The Urgency of Black Madness, he presents a scathing and self-reflexive analysis of racism, not simply an imposition by others, but as an occurrence deeply connected to the shortcomings and obligations within the Black race itself.

Writing from Boston in May 2025, Prof. Nyamndi challenges the received opinion by invoking the Black community to engage in self-examination, intellectual freedom, and a renewed quest for scientific and technological excellence. His prose is candid yet optimistic, extending an invitation to action to a generation in transition. With bold candor and resilient examination, Nyamndi charts anew the contours of what it means to regain dignity, purpose, and agency in today’s world.
