FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Unveil: An Appeal to Consciousness achieves nothing less than a complete
scholarly unmasking of the causal factors which precipitated, as well as the
devastating effects which flow from, our ongoing collective national historical
assault upon the dignity and well being of People of Color. The overall goal of
this book is to encourage each and every one of us to become more personally
aware of the objectively unfounded biases which contaminate both our attitudes
and our behavior. Future social and racial progress must be weaned upon a
process of purification which can only come from a better understanding of our
past. Therefore, it is incumbent upon a would-be enlightened community to more
deeply probe into issues such as: the impact and aftermath of slavery, colonial
aggrandizement, the breakdown of the Black community, and the continuous cycle
of destruction within our inner cities, to name but a few. As this book so
amply demonstrates, only by pursuing the Socratic dictum of knowing who we have
been can we ever hope to become the type of people who are worthy of inheriting
the earth.
FROM THE AUTHOR:
Unveil: An Appeal to Consciousness, is about how inequities in society today
and the devastating effect of our collective actions against the lives of
people of colour all over the world.
The goal of this book is to encourage each and every one of us to develop
awareness of our attitudes and behaviors, which are biased by our perceptions
and which can positively or negatively affect our communities.
My work here is to raise awareness and to address some pressing issues and
causes of the breakdown in the Black community and in the world in general. And
to better understand the present, we have to revisit the past; the effect of
slavery, colonization and the continuous cycle of death and destruction in the
inner cities.
