Herman Strating

Herman Strating was born in what was Apartheid South Africa and immigrated with his family to Boston, Massachusetts 30 years ago. Never a slave to convention, in his formative years he questioned the contradictions of the religion, Protestantism, into which he was born, and he challenges the same contradictions still today.

Blending the experiences of his early life in Africa and his later life in America, he traces the origins of the superstitions that are still holding us hostage, arguing it is too late in the evolution of human intelligence to believe in the grim fairy tales of yesteryear. At times humorous, at times tragic, at times both, but always plain spoken and thought-provoking.
