In this book Kwaku Grantley Edwards probes the underlying causes of what is widely known as 'mental slavery' in today's world among Blacks and people of African descent. Black people today are mere splinters in the cog of a powerful caste system, struggling to find their way as a people, a condition that has been perpetuated for generations. Edwards attempts to light the way by pointing to the veil that is obscuring the path to illumination and economic success.
