About the Author

Larry Chang is a life counselor and teacher of I-sight, a synthesis of the perennial philosophy, the dharma and transpersonal psychology. He has collected and uses many quotations in his work, which he shares in this and a previous anthology, Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing. He has been, in turn and simultaneously, an artist, designer, editor, activist, trader, consultant and restauranteur and publisher. Exiled from Jamaica, he was granted asylum based on sexual orientation by the US, where he now lives in Washington, DC. Roderick Terry is an attorney, author and photographer, currently resident in Washington, D.C. His previous publications are Brother's Keeper: Words of Inspiration for African-American Men and One Million Strong: A Photographic Tribute of the Million Man March.

From the Inside Flap

From the wisdom of Khemetic sages and pharoahs, slave narratives, the literature of resistance and protest, the self-assertion of Marcus Garvey, through to the reggae philosophy of Bob Marley and New Age spirituality, the contribution of Black thinkers, writers and artists to world culture has been as life-affirming and phenomenal as it is unknown. This anthology brings to light much that is timeless, profound and inspirational, universally applicable to the human condition.
