Taifa says… "My colleague Bernard Demczuk has just written a phenomenally intriguing book - MAME’S SPIRIT: Reparations and Romance - An Afro Futurist Love Story Remixed with Righteousness and West African Spirituality. I have not yet finished reading it but I must say, it has me captivated! And he’s white ... Lawd! Whew - He and his muse CMZ Blackwell have really done this work justice. Check out the website for yourself - www.mamespirit.com. And if you decide to purchase the book, which I hope you do, check out the dedication on pages 285-286! A pleasant surprise!!"
