This book is on one hand a memoir of the life of Nasihah Jones from his early childhood years in a violent urban ghetto to the few years after his release from prison. On the other hand, it is also a treatise on the relationship of the young urban black male with the system of white supremacy and racism. "Black Salt for White Eyes" examines the system that relentlessly erases the black male - and black female - and provides a well-scripted narrative that allows young black males through self-hatred to commit black on black genocide. This book offers a blueprint for self-discovery and transformation, using the author's own life as a positive example.

Feeling trapped and terrorized by the culture of murder and poverty around him, Nasihah found himself entangled in a fatal confrontation with a neighborhood gang member and drug dealer who threatened three times to kill him. His act of obvious self-defense becomes deliberately twisted by prosecutorial misconduct and at 15 years old, Nasihah is convicted of murder and sentenced to nine years to life in prison.
Nasihah's own life in prison echoed that of Malcolm X, whom he admired and studied carefully. He took charge of his own redemption, education, and ultimately his own transformation until he was freed from his wrongful murder conviction.
Nasihah Jones earned a bachelor's degree in Anthropology from SUNY Purchase and a master's degree from SUNY New Paltz in Humanistic/Multicultural Education. He currently lives in Washington, DC, and is employed as a high school educator in Southeast, DC.
