FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
United Kingdom – “Racism” – that dirty, ever-powerful word that people use yet hate to be associated with. Sadly, for Joseph Amamoo, he first experienced true racism over six decades ago and has since committed himself to exploring an issue that’s more than controversial.
In his compelling new book, ‘Racism: A Global Problem’, Amamoo takes a holistic look at this problem with the upfront honesty and brevity never before seen in the marketplace.
Synopsis:
The author has been fascinated by the problem of racism from the time he first encountered it in September 1957 when he arrived in the United Kingdom. And over the period of 60 years of adulthood he has tried to understand the causes of this dangerous ideology. Are people born racist or is it an acquired characteristic? Why did Europe become associated with racism? What are the effects, economic, political and psychological on both the racists and their victims? Can racism be eradicated? Why aren't white women racist or insignificantly so compared with white men? These are a few of the questions and issues about racism which have interested the author for many years. It is hoped that the reader would not only find this book interesting but make a contribution however modest toward the elimination of this global problem which has brought immense calamity to the world.
“This is a conversation we simply must open up”, explains the author. “The confusing thing about racism is that’s a topic fiercely prevalent and fatal, yet it’s something we’re too happy to sweep under the rug and ignore. I’m deliberately pulling it out of the closet and thrusting it under the limelight so we can confront it once and for all”
Continuing, “We’re never going to be able to effect change if we don’t start taking positive action – and that all starts with a real and true understanding of what racism is, as well as how it moulds the lives of its victims. I believe that this book won’t be an easy read for most people, but it’s a conversation we can’t put on the backburner any longer.”
