This book is a symphony of harmonized thoughts for the express dissemination of both tangibles and intangibles, in the sense of aversion and gaining contentment of the mind; of the heart. It is a similitude of an inquisition patterned in the authors and the readers sojourn. The journey enacted by choice and decision. The veritable decree of free from self-introspection and determined succession. The passing on of knowledge through metaphor and simile to capture and captivate. Adverse commentary and strengthened communication lines in the favor of an enlightened guarantor. The learner, discerned yet sovereign for the said implementation of success. Derived intercession to mediate the process. A guide in the midst of tumultuous affairs, disagreeable friends, eroded bonds, and financial melee. This self-help will surmise hope and opportunity for increased vantages. It will increase your chances; widen your choices and field your opportunities. As light shines forth in the dark, this book can awaken and heal. It is a communication and an exhortation. It is proof of power and presumption. It shows the reader an awkward look at that past and possibilities for the future. It survives failure. It lives. It breathes compassion in prose, vigilance in admission, vehemence in austerity. Auspicious gathering and meeting of minds, reader and author, for the expressed consent to nurture; to heal; to begin. Miscommunication can bring assiduous affairs and tranquilized enticements. The promotion of identity at the expense of rigorous prosecution. Systematic dissonance versus righteous concordance. A look into the mind of the inspired and the aspiring. A side note to jurisprudence, a detailed caption of the hearing. The trial in every ones life; their remote time of incoherence under the pursuant. The enigmatic defendant; the truce ridden yet omnipotent assailant.

Preparation meets character in these prose driven, structured verses. A Rite of Passage II, is a landmark undertaking, capsulizing the uniqueness and genius of our story. Dependent upon his love for leadership, W. Bell takes the reader on a brief trip, continuing where the first book finishes. Reminding personalities of highs and lows in the society that capture the imagination. Divulging evidence of the first book’s precedence, this take is for persons of aspiring intrigue. Enrapturing stasis and combining elemental truth, the trek pictures persons. We catch dismemberment, disassociation, and disbelief in our sojourn towards oneness. Not capitulation, or impropriety, these testaments relive a struggle born deep within actualization. Competence guides, and perpetuity can commence as a result of prodigious decision making. Letting our conscience be a guide, and formidable ranks a resolve, testing countenance of its affects. Breeding opportunity in resultants transferred of the author’s plights, the lesson is found in comedic overture and tragic nuance. To say the least, power is passed befuddling frustration’s archetype of disagreement and dis-service. The information to enliven; believability’s icon before the token. Enlisting preference prevails and religiosity ensues. Routine references to persona are not griped with and jovial epithets can be worshipped. Determining promise in this issue may be difficult, but the knowledge granted is worth accessibility.

Interpreting Du Bois' thoughts on race and culture in a broadly philosophical sense, this volume assembles original essays by some of today's leading scholars in a critical dialogue on different important theoretical and practical issues that concerned him throughout his long career: the conundrum of race, the issue of gender equality, and the perplexities of pan-Africanism.

In 1987 Bernard W. Bell published "The Afro-American Novel and Its Tradition", a comprehensive interpretive history of more than 150 novels written by African Americans from 1853 to 1983. This is a sequel and companion to the earlier work, expanding the coverage to 2001.

This study is an addition to the growing body of scholarly analysis examining the Afro-American contribution. It is based on the premise that in the last 25 years the traditional canon of American literature excluded important minority authors. Proceeding chronologically from William Wells Brown's Clotel (1853), to experimental novels of the 1980s, Bell comments on more than 150 works, with close readings of 41 novelists. His remarks are framed by an inquiry into the distinctive elements of Afro-American fiction. ISBN 0-87023-568-0 : $25.00.
