Description

Places in Political Time approaches the black African Diaspora phenomenon from a new perspective, considering cultural myths, history, allegories, and other stories, which present the human condition from a black American perspective. The book also formulates a way of presenting and understanding the divergent views of black scholars today in shaping our thoughts about individuals of black African descent. The essays in this book describe and evaluate tough questions on racism and uncomfortable truths about people within the black Diaspora, exploring how people of color interact with themselves and dominate cultures.
