Description

"Enter the Anti" is the true story of an American soldier on leave from West Germany who makes a detour to New York City and decides to stay. His new mission is not merely to survive, or seek fame and fortune, but to combat hypocrisy and confront the sacred cows.

Mike Enrico's journey began in the seedy Stapleton section of Staten Island, surrounded by bigots and heroin addicts. It's a lonely existence commuting by ferry back and forth, day after day, to a dead-end job, and stumbling out of bars at 3 am. Determined to change course, he gravitates towards the creative arts and falls in love for the first time in his life.

While working at Chthonian University, Mike discovers the revolutionary speeches of Malcolm X, and his life is forever changed. The battle cry for freedom, justice, and equality erupts after the 1999 police shooting of unarmed African immigrant Amadou Diallo. Mike's activist seeds are sown, and there's no turning back.

Read "Enter the Anti" if you dare, but don't expect a humble bootlicking tale from another son of sharecroppers. In this provocative sequel to "Face It, You're Black," author Mike Enrico recalls his NYC struggles, political awakening, and clashes with ideological opponents.
