Synopsis

Dr. Molefi Kete Asante says, "Sometimes a book is written that speaks so clearly to the masses that it must be read in full to appreciate its power for transforming our lives. Dr. Freya Rivers’ Faces of Racism: A Case of Genocide is just such a book because it is written by one of the most important educators of our times and by a person who has spent nearly forty years exploring the linkages between education and culture and education and racism. Rarely has an author come to a subject with such poignant and definitive experience." Faces of Racism: A Case of Genocide is a book that examines the 7 faces that continue the perpetuation of racism which ultimately lead to genocide. The faces of racism and genocide are clearly defined and backed by empirical data. At the end of each face there are anecdotes, effects, ethical standards and solutions. If you are a Black African or African American, you are at risk of genocide and terrorism. The terrorists are CEOs, police, lawyers, judges, ministers, students and people in every walk of life who support violence, disenfranchisement, annihilation and genocide. Racist terror evokes fear that invades Black people’s lives from birth until death. Age and gender are not factors for victimization. Dr. Rivers’ goal is to educate the reader to hopefully eradicate racism in the future.
