Ben Ammi Ben Israel, the man and messiah figure, is one of the most interesting spiritual leaders to emerge in African American history. This thorough and thoughtful book by Michael Miller takes him seriously as a revolutionary thinker who challenges much of what we think we know about black politics, culture, language, life and death today. * John L. Jackson JR., author of Thin Description: Ethnography and the African American Hebrew Israelites * This well-researched book fulfils a long-felt need – a thorough analysis of the philosophy of Ben Ammi Ben Israel and the beliefs of the Hebrew Israelite movement. * Tudor Parfitt, Distinguished University Professor, Florida International University, USA * Ben Ammi Ben Israel is not a name that is burnished on the consciousness of many people outside of the relatively small world of those interested in and committed to Black liberation. Miller’s book is therefore a timely and a bold restatement of the man and his theological, political and ethical ideas concerned with the selfactualisation and self-determination of Black people ... This excellent text is a reminder of an important voice in the Black radical tradition that should be reclaimed. * Anthony G. Reddie, Director of the Oxford Centre for Religion and Culture, University of Oxford, UK *
