Publisher's Synopsis
Ewuare Osayande's poetry offers an unflinching critique of racism, sexism, hypocrisy and patriarchy. Shaking his brothers and sisters out of a historical amnesia, his mission is to remind them all that one can be either another's keeper or their similarly hued oppressor. Embarking on a journey that crosses continents, time and race, Osayande provides a stinging assessment of the ravages of global capitalism. His language is raw and hip, his voice sweet and defiant: a Langston Hughes for the 21st century.
