Book: Seeing Things in Black and White
Author: Antoine K. Stroman
Publisher: AuthorHouse
Pages: 99
My Rating: 5/5
Seeing Things in Black and White by the author Antoine K Stroman is a short read. The book has three parts and each part has many chapters. It is the journey of a young black man who was treated differently by the world because of his skin colour.
The story begins in the mid 90’s and continues to the present. Reading about how a man was forced out of the neighborhood due to his skin colour is really painful. Our skin colour is given by God to us and nobody should judge anyone based on it.
Below lines are really impactful:
I grew up in a predominantly black
neighborhood, and didn’t
understand the power of being
black until I was placed in
an environment where black wasn’t
predominant. It was
then that I realized just how
beautiful black truly was…
It was really a great read and I recommend this to all my fellow readers. The title of the book is apt and the cover of the book is simple but decent.
About the Author:
As a writer, poet, songwriter, teacher and director, Seeing Things in Black and White is my most daring work. Written over the course of 9 years, I’ve drawn inspiration from various points in my life. Throughout this 9 year period, I became an educator, a writer for theatre, and a director, which all served as an influencing factor in the composition of this story. It is for this purpose that I believe that this work should be picked up.
