Hardly any other topic is as charged with such controversy, polarization, doubt and inhibitions as the topic of integration.

STRANGERS AT THE GATE: BLACK POLAND b...
The history of People of African Descent (PAD) is a complex story in itself and lies at the center of the history of humanity. This book recounts the multiple realities People of African Descent experience in Poland. The process of migration of PAD had been voluntary and devoid of duress because Poland had no colonies in Africa. Their rational choice for coming to Poland is mainly due to cheap education. Considering that the majority of Africans coming to Poland wanted to pursue further education. The African continent for a long time attracted the interest of Polish people who, despite their geographical position at the far East of Europe and their non-involvement in colonial activities, have always been curious to know more about the distant and exotic to them, regions of the world. Their curiosity about Africa was satiated in the past hundred years or so by a number of scholars and journalists in the field and by travellers who wrote about their experiences. The drama that surrounds PAD’s co-existence with Polish community is worth a discourse: the process of transformation that PAD undergoes during their quest for integration, adapting to their new society and still face a hostile environment. The agony that People of African Descent experience in the hands of a specific group is unquestionable.
THE BEAST: WHITE SUPREMACY by James O...
The beast: white supremacy is about variegated controversial topics on race relations. It delves into the world of White supremacy. It builds on the premise of race relations with the aim of confronting some of the prevalent elements of white supremacy, and to prompt a discourse on race relations. Moreover, this book helps to understand better and take the concept of white supremacy even deeper into a conversation by offering the historical and cultural context, and how they influence the contemporary society. What makes this book outstanding is how it connects the historical perspectives with their implications to the contemporary problems in race relations premised upon white supremacy, outlining various parentheses to validate the narratives.
CROSSING THE COLOURLINE: INTERRACIAL ...
With the increasing number of Africans in Europe and subsequent upsurge in intermarriages, there has been a rise of biracial children and adults in most countries in Europe who do not fit in the realm of society’s social stratum.
Marriages transverse ethnic borders, rising in frequency, yet the cognitive debate on ethnicity, race, migration, and how these variables affect couples and their children from these interracial marriages is a serious hassle – love is not all you need in interracial marriage. This book therefore delves into the multiple realities of interracial marriages through personal narratives of those engaged in it and who go through it on a daily basis.
I find that biracial individuals define their identities in different ways likewise; I also find that their parents define them in various ways too. Some biracial individuals are strongly attached to their Black racial identity, while others engage in contextual and situational racial identity work, in spite of how the society perceives them. Affinity to Blackness encompasses a lot of competing identities such as, gender, age, and exposure to non-Blacks.
This book is also designed to understand how Black-white interracial parents categorize and reconcile their children’s racial identity. Moreover, the objective of this research book is to expose some of the approaches and strategies parents of biracial individuals convey to their children in order to influence or trivialise their racial identity.
My aim in writing this book – using narratives from the parents with biracial kids and also biracial individuals themselves – is that when one reads this book about biracial children and individuals, parents of biracial children, and their position within society, it will unfold an amalgam of multiple realities and multidimensional levels of sense of belonging. The way society identifies individuals has a dramatic effect on everyone, particularly children.
This research book starts by giving an overview of the concept of race as the perception of physical differences, and the research result on biracial individuals based on societal misrecognition, everyday challenges and their racial identity and sense of belonging.
The book presents the research results on interracial marriage, looking at the multiple challenges that emanates from interracial marriage and how these parents cope with the dual identity of their children.
It also delves into the discussion part on parenting as a micro-activism, racial socialization of biracial individuals, some tips in preparing children for encounter with racism and how to actively engage in the discourse on race issues.
The outcome of the survey affirms the main themes related to interracial couples and how they apprehend and strategize for the survival of their biracial children.

Frustrations of Hope by Edmond Bukhebi
Frustrations of Hope is a book that explores the journey of hardships whose aim is to bring guidance and solutions to humanity carrying with it a message that there's need for the people of all races to refuse to be locked up yet they have the power to break free and live a live of freedom, peace, love and joy through Christ Jesus. May be it is because of human reluctance that our society has a lot of frustrated graduates than nation-building graduates. The captured experiences and perceptions symbolize the status of the majority of people in the society.
T.F Hodge once said, "To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles."
Take Me out of thy Head by Edmond Buk...
"Take me out of thy head" indeed provides an effective elaboration on understanding the extent of God's interaction in human affairs. This argument is prevalent in discussions today, often questioning why, if God is good, He would allow evil to occur.
This book delves into the true "God's Original Intention" within human history, which was to create a dwelling place for Himself—a community of free and conscious living beings. It urges us to embark on a prison break plan and find freedom. My ultimate prayer has been for God to rescue us from the negative whispers in our minds, which falsely claim that everything He does is against our desire for greatness. Perhaps God is against the human will in favor of His own Will, which is to create a peaceful and fruitful life of freedom for humanity.
"Take me out of thy head" serves as a metaphor commonly known as "thinking outside the box," encouraging readers to think differently, unconventionally, and from a new perspective. It emphasizes the freedom of the mind in accepting that God's knowledge holds supreme power over all things. The book aims to bless readers as they explore its contents.
The quote by Jerry Bridges highlights the profound love of God, demonstrated through the sacrifice of His Son even when humanity was His enemy. It affirms the belief that if God loved us in such a remarkable way, He will continue to care for us as His children. "If God loved me enough to give His Son to die for me when I was His enemy, surely He loves me enough to care for me now that I am His child."
