"Weaving storytelling, socioeconomic analysis, and cultural criticism with the spiritual and political threads of liberation theology and Pan Africanism, this book empowers Black and brown people to begin the difficult but necessary work of decolonizing their minds and overcoming the lies they have been told about themselves for centuries. Rahiel Tesfamariam dares Black and brown people to see the world through a larger historical and global lens, to understand how their quests for freedom and healing are intrinsically connected to the past, present, and future." -- Publisher description.
