Bola Opaleke's collection bravely explores the painful history and continuing constructs of what it means to be black in a white world and an emigrant into a white society. These poems breathe a fire all their own and will surely create a new standard for questioning and deconstructing the racism which, though born through slavery, is still a construct we all must fight against today. Opaleke's poems bring a new vision and voice to the forefront of the discussion and by bravely confronting the past and present, negotiates some hope for the future.
