As a syndicated columnist, Professor Ezrah’s articles are widespread online. In 2016 he critiqued chapters for the college textbook Freedom On My Mind: A History of African Americans. As a researcher and public intellectual, he published the below books, contextualizing the historiography and universality of sovereignty as political theory and institutional practice, both historically and contemporarily. From standpoints of an African American scholar, his books uniquely and counterintuitively apply the concept and consciousness of sovereignty as a global lens of interpretation to examine present and future possibilities for self-authentic progress and development of Africa, the African Diaspora, and African Americans.
The Sovereign Psyche
Systems of Chattel Freedom vs. Self-Authentic Freedom, (2016)
The Sovereign Psyche is the motivating consciousness, intellect, and willpower that is necessary to materialize what the book defines as "Self-Authentic Freedom" as opposed to "Chattel Freedom". Chattel Freedom is when the value of a people is predicated upon the extent to which the serve the interests and institutions of others.
Sovereign Evolution
Manifest Destiny from Civil Rights to Sovereign Rights, (2009)
From emancipation to segregation to integration, African Americans exist today by virtue of a continuum of political evolutions, each of which is built upon prior legacies and achievements. In advancing our political progression, Sovereign Evolution redeclares freedom and equality in 21st century terms, using sovereign principles and standards.
Pawned Sovereignty
Sharpened Black Perspectives on Americanization, Africa, War and Reparations, (2003)
Since sovereignty (not civil rights) is the pinnacle of all freedoms, the book provides Black America with solutions and insightful viewpoints, based on sovereign-minded frames of reference. This approach pierces the core of mainstream body politics and leads to redefined ideals and worldviews which better serve Black/African interests.
