Dal risvolto di copertina interno

From the wisdom of Khemetic sages and pharoahs, slave narratives, the literature of resistance and protest, the self-assertion of Marcus Garvey, through to the reggae philosophy of Bob Marley and New Age spirituality, the contribution of Black thinkers, writers and artists to world culture has been as life-affirming and phenomenal as it is unknown. This anthology brings to light much that is timeless, profound and inspirational, universally applicable to the human condition.
