The main character in CYBER TREK is called Mankin (Yes, Mankin, not Mankind.) He is like our inner correcting force observing all things . . . but made few comments. The following is a concise insight into CYBER TREK. Migrants left their island homes with great hopes and found otherwise. Culture shock treated in a light-hearted manner. Discussion of the stifling British old-boys system on the island . . . a time when the advantaged brown-skinned colonialists emulated the British, and practiced a fiercer type of social exclusion against the disadvantaged Blacks. Marcus Garvey's legacy and the Rastafarian Movement (Beating down Babylon!) . . . Authentic Jah discussions! Changing Caribbean politics (Jamaica specific), and the rise of the notorious gunman. Return of the deportees and the old political "Father confessors!" The old conniving politicians whom now want to confess their misdeeds. (Poking fun at the system and its leadership--in some instances it is not really funny.) Insight into the religious ideas of the wishy-washy political preachers that populate the islands--religious beliefs and practices of island groups. Not to be taken seriously--a fun thing! Political (politricksians) insecurity, silly inter-groups rivalry and biases of the various Caribbean island groups. Another political look, comparing Garvey's time with the present-day free-market system . . . Was Garvey wrong in his skepticism of the NAACP? Was he wrong in denouncing Haile Selassie for losing the war to the Italians? Dialogue between two radicals: one is the younger pro-Malcolm X (Kenworth), the other older pro-Garveyite (Simnally.) These guys interspersed their radical streetwise 1960-70s dialogue throughout the manuscript. Finally tired and old migrants now pining to return to their homeland . . . What are their chances for peaceful retirement in an island society gone mad with lawlessness and corruption?

Today's highly fraught historical moment brings a resurgence of antisemitism. Antisemitic incidents of all kinds are on the rise across the world, including hate speech, the spread of neo-Nazi graffiti and other forms of verbal and written threats, the defacement of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries, and acts of murderous terror. Contending with Antisemitism in a Rapidly Changing Political Climate is an edited collection of 18 essays that address antisemitism in its new and resurgent forms. Against a backdrop of concerning political developments such as rising nationalism and illiberalism on the right, new forms of intolerance and anti-liberal movements on the left, and militant deeds and demands by Islamic extremists, the contributors to this timely and necessary volume seek to better understand and effectively contend with today's antisemitism.
