This book examines the internal and external issues that confront the Radical Afrocentrist African/Edenic Person who commits to the counter-hegemonic struggle to bring the kingdom of God to this earth. It engages the inner and outer conflicts and their resolution that are part and parcel of the tortuous life of a Radical Afrocentrist African/Edenic Person who has undertaken the task of overthrowing the extant status quo world-system without losing heart, becoming bitter or giving way to despair in the face of the system's apparent intractability.
