Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For Donald Tsolo-Phae to most-it was infuriating to be young and black in apartheid South Africa. Early on, Phae's father instilled the belief that South Africa's survival rested on the next generation's shoulders. With education, Phae and his cohorts could advance black equality. Believing oppression and suffering would stop, though, was optimistic. When Phae's friend Nyakane is beaten by Afrikaner police for rescuing a drowning white boy and administering CPR, Phae and his friends are fundamentally altered. Goal-directed discussions replace informal conversations. Meetings become organized and planned. Talks on incendiary bombs, firearms, and the black struggle for freedom overtake their light-hearted banter. Remedying apartheid in the early 1950s was unlikely, however. Phae thus committed himself to the anti-apartheid weapon with the highest likelihood of success-education. Making his way to Pius XII University College, he is elected chairman of the local branch of the outlawed Pan African Congress. American politicians working in-country quickly take note, and Phae's future spirals toward activism. With cultural, historical, and political context, The Promise is an in-depth portrait of the barbarism fathered by apartheid and how both Phae and some good-hearted, God-fearing Americans devoted their lives to a democratic, non-racial South Africa.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Love Won't Let Me Be Silent is a collection of writings, short stories, and poems, exploring the experiences and trials of parenthood from an African-American gay male perspective and sensitively chronicles Mason's search for love and self-hood. These masterfully creative writings express candidly the views of countless gay African-Americans who are vibrant with the faith and energy of America's Black Church yet bristling with the pain and anger of America's racial and homophobic injustice. While many still speculate over whether Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., would have supported gay rights, Mason boldly points out that it is absolutely inconceivable that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., would endorse anything that smacks of discrimination and bigotry against any group since it is opposed to everything he believed in as a humanitarian and Civil Rights leader. Mason is an extraordinary poet who eloquently expands and redefines the traditional idea of the love poem in creative and ingenious ways. Each poem, story, and article is suffused with restoration, history, love, and ferocious courage! He also gives us an honest glimpse into the life of a young 'Angel Mason' who experienced the pangs of growing up in a not-so-tolerant world as an African-American gay teen. America has barely smoothed its feathers, ruffled badly last year by the California Supreme Court's initial decision to lift the ban on gay marriage, followed by a divisive election that reversed the decision and placed the matter again before the California Supreme Court for repeal. These chilling events led to an epiphany that compelled him to write Love Won't Let Me Be Silent. These electrifying writings are destined to make him one of the foremost voices of the African-American gay experience. We have no doubt that the artistry and enduring vision that Mason demonstrates in this inspiring book will cause a revolutionary awakening in America and continue to influence our culture, reshape our thinking, and touch our hearts and lives for decades.…
