Chain Letter to America: The One Thing You Can Do to End Racism, A Collection of Essays, Fiction and Poetry Celebrating Multiculturalism
BOSTON, Mass. – Jacques Fleury’s Chain Letter to America (published by Author House in October of 2019) is set to receive anew marketing campaign this year.
This book is both a cacophony and harmonious interplay of correlated essays, fiction and poetry on multicultural themes about race, class, tethered with the hunger for justice and equality in American societies’ mixed populace landscape and transcending injustices imposed upon us by one another on the road to full unequiocal equality for all of humanity.
“I think that this book will appeal to most readers because of its timeliness as sociopolitical, religious and racial disunity in America continue to be a prevalent issue. With it, comes researched based principles of historical reference, relevance, honest self-reflection, and a celebration of cross-cultural contributions to our American society. Its consistent message of respect, dignity, compassion and understanding for our fallible civilization is especially crucial to its theme, especially as we witness disunity and social unrest in America and elsewhere.” Fleury says.
Unique to this erudite collection is Fleury’s multicultural, multilingual (Creole, French, English) and multi-educational background. Readers will get nuanced perspectives on a throng of subject matters (e.g., sociopolitical history, ethnicity, racism, classism, the immigrant experience, the arts, the environment, philosophy, folklore, psychopathology, pedagogy, institutional empowerment etc..) rendered with French-Caribbean and African American influences.“Be mindful of how you perceive yourself and treat others based on disproved ideological pseudo-scientific theories of "white" supremacy. The anti-racist literature in this book will hopefully educate, puzzle, and perchance, challenge your hitherto notions of race in America.
Be prepared to embark on a multi-cultural, multiracial journey of our collectively, ebullient, broken, robust, frail yet buoyant society, as we all aspire to do better in order to be better for the sake of ourselves and each other” the author tells readers.
Professional Reviews
Praise for Jacques Fleury’s “Chain Letter to America…”“
A powerful strike on the doors of Justice. The courageous author painted his vision, and suggested understanding and consciousness of our historic and present social reality. When we understand that we are the Human Race, there will be no place on Earth for Eris and Ares. Please, keep fueling the wings of Your Quill, and let the world know that it soars safely ~ blown by winds of reality, and aesthetical light. In reverent appreciation…”
Quite a tirade of prose and poetry of the state of the United States in the early 21st century. I thought we would be beyond all that, but it has come back to haunt us. I was enthralled with every word. Fleury really said a load in this broadly sweeping exposé of modern life awakening. It’s good to see his superlative writing again… Kudos!”
—Ronald W. Hull, Ed.D, Author of Hanging by a Thread
“Polarization and violence in our country make increasingly urgent a greater understanding of our history. No one can confidently predict that things will return to ‘normal’, or that non-racist forces will seamlessly replace President Trump after his one or two terms in office. So what lessons and what inspiration from our past can we draw upon to help us in our present circumstance?”
