About this ebook
Funk is an African American musical genre that causes the average listener to have an uncontrollable desire to move their feet and dance. Funknology is a synthesis of ideas designed to cause the average reader to have an irresistible urge to move their heart. As we battle the complexities of race, and the impact poor race relations have had on society, this book will prove to be a timely read. Regardless of how much thought you have given to recent racial tensions--or how active you have been in working toward solutions for them--this book will inspire you to find ways to move your feet and your heart in the direction of a Funknology of Hope, meaning long-lasting reconciliation.
