About the book
In this book, Mwatabu Okantah resists the mindset which has historically taught whites to misrepresent black people and other peoples of colour as inferior and relentlessly attempt to control them. The poet uncovers the troubling past and recent history of white racist and imperial violence on black and brown bodies - one that stretches from the Atlantic slave trade to the contemporary legal abuses against vulnerable populations that White America continues to perceive as 'illegals,' 'terrorist,' or dangerous individuals.
