THE BLACK PARADOX: MAKING BLACK LIVES MATTER IN A POST-NATIONALIST WORLD
by Jean-Luc Bressard
The Black Paradox takes a critical view on racism and examines issues facing society at large in a post-nationalists world following the UK BREXIT decision and the election of President Trump. What opportunities exist for Black people in this new world order?
2016 saw riots across the United States following the shootings by police of several Black men. Sylville Smith in Milwaukee, Michael Brown in Ferguson Missouri, and Keith L. Scott in Charlotte North Carolina but to name a few.
In the United Kingdom, the police shooting of Mark Duggan resulted in the worst riots the UK has ever witnessed.
The Black Paradox asks difficult questions of what it is to be black in the 21st Century. More importantly, it asks the question whether Black people themselves across all continents are doing enough themselves to change the Narrative.
Whilst quotas and positive discrimination may be tools that will eventually bring about change, is enough being done to accelerate the changes required in all aspects of society?
The Black Paradox tackles the challenges that all people face in Education In Families; In the work place; In places of religious worship, and finally and most importantly in the society at large and provides workable solutions to those challenges.
Have Black people been the victims of surreptitious policies to keep them amongst the poorest people in society or are they in fact the architects of their own legacy?
The books looks at real issues and asks difficult questions. Some issues, which many black people may find challenging or offensive, but these very same issues are not openly discussed and as we have recently seen with BREXIT and the Election of President Trump, not openly discussing and resolving major issues in society also has unpredictable and unforeseen circumstances and outcomes.
