In his eleventh book author Erik Angus MacRae endeavors to reveal shadowy and radical political elements that have been making a prey of the African American and African Canadian communities. He also uncovers a lot of the dark hidden history of two of the Nineteeth century's foremost intellectual figures who have wielded great influence over the affairs and upbringing of African-Westerners. The book mostly functions as an educational resource to enable the reader to think critically and understand the undercurrents of the modern political scenario, for their own benefit.
