![]() ![]() ![]() We have to understand the history here - that this space existed as one of the few public spaces where Black men could freely express their manhood and where they could stand straight, look a man in the eye, speak clearly, laugh, tell inside jokes and, for just a moment, be free of fear. He’s claiming his story, while inviting us inside to a tale happening in the barbershop, one of the most revered spaces of African American manhood. There he is with his sly, side-eye glance, though really he looks directly at us. That guy on the first page of the book takes away any reason for fear. To see this picture book that celebrates African American men is really quite remarkable. We searched for books and found very few of them. This was made evident to me several years ago by a white co-worker searching for picture books featuring Black men to read to her young niece, who had expressed a fear of Black men. If you take the time to look through picture books from the United States, you’ll find how rare it is to see an image of a Black man.

It was a story that came from a surprisingly personal place and it revolved around the idea of perceiving reality differently than others, of being overwhelmed by one’s perceptions, and of whose perceptions are considered real or true and why. For THE OUTSIDE, I was hesitant to make Yasira autistic, given how dark of some of the story’s elements are, but once I had a first draft I knew that autism was integral to the story I was telling. ![]() I’m autistic myself, so I’m no stranger to adding characters like me into my stories. ![]() Why did you want to include an autistic character in your novel and how did you approach accurately and sensitively tackling this?

The current crises in the United States and Europe – the result primarily of US capitalism’s inherent ethical failures, and to Europe’s dysfunction – might be seen as lending credibility to Spengler’s view of democracy’s inadequacy, and to his dismissal of Western civilization as essentially being driven by a corrupting lust for money.īut determinism in history has always been defeated by the unpredictable forces of human will, and, in this case, by the West’s extraordinary capacity for renewal, even after cataclysmic defeats. ![]() MADRID – Since the publication in 1918 of the first volume of Oswald Spengler’s The Decline of the West, prophecies about the inexorable doom of what he called the “Faustian Civilization” have been a recurrent topic for thinkers and public intellectuals. ![]() |
