by Jan Carew (used-very good copy)

"Fulcrums of Change represents Jan Carew, the polyglot griot of Africa, oppressed minorities, and pain--at his very best--fusing a path from ruins in a universe where those pressed the farthest down have always forced themselves to freedom. It is a collection of essays on racism, exile, Third Worldism and visions of future promise. For griot-Carew the truth simply is: therefore these wonder prose efforts read like scenes from a novel with bits and pieces of proverbs, songs, and poems interspersed among them. It is a rare testimony from a man who has been a part of so many of the changes shaping this century." --Sterling D. Plumpp, University of Illinois at Chicago
