“Mame’s Spirit: Reparations and Romance” Book Talk

Human Rights and Justice host Nkechi Taifa features a  book talk with author, activist, scholar Bernard Demczuk, PhD., discussing his novel  “Mame’s Spirit: Reparations and Romance, An Afro-Futurist Crime-Mystery Love-Story Re-Mixed with Reparations, Righteousness and West African Spirituality." Mame’s Spirit helps to raise this vital question: How should we atone, reconcile or rectify the brutality of racism and caste that have damaged and continue to harm generations of humanity? The story of King Leopold and the Congo is an especially troubling case. Mame’s Spirit represents one fictional answer with plot twists and rich characters that help introduce this central topic as it provides an Afro-futurist possibility of what the outcome could be if one became obsessed with one of history’s most covered up atrocities!
