Publisher's Synopsis
Do you expect an upheaval when a black man writes the Ku Klux Klan? Think again. There is an alternative to hatred. Tear Down the Iron Curtains is a unique and necessary attempt to reconcile races, cultures, faiths, and other groups. Mankind began the twenty-first century with unprecedented cultural, religious, and gang tensions. Suspicion among peoples with diverse ways of life has risen to an alltime high during the past decade. Terrorism is now a borderless phenomenon that haunts every nation. Expressed and unexpressed bitterness among nations is making pessimists out of those who thought the world would no longer witness major conflicts.The menace of gangs is not leaving our cities, and formerly nonviolent neighborhoods are becoming restless. Should the peace-loving majority of the people around the world submit to these undesirable trends? It is not a clever choice to leave a bitterly divided world to the coming generations. More than ever, the conscientious among us, regardless of their races, colors, and religions, need to come together and speak up against intolerance. The world will lose its body, spirit, and soul to evil if fine men, women, and children keep mute when it matters. The outstanding Letter to the KKK is a deliberate effort to reconcile the diverse peoples everywhere. Mankind has no healthier option than fashioning a mutually supportive civilization that curtails the intolerance of man by man. Tear Down the Iron Curtains, a blend of diversity, nonviolence, social justice, and antigang themes, has something for everyone, including youths, adults, institutions, and groups that oppose any form of hatred. Dele Ajaja engages his personal experiences to advocate tolerance.
