Gandhi predated Frantz Fanon and the black-consciousness movements in South Africa and the U.S. by more than a half-century and inspired the resurgence of the indigenous intellect, spirit and industry...
...judge this band by its book covers: on the inside of Rage's previous CD, Evil Empire, there was a collage of the dust jackets of leftist classics like Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth and George Jackson's Soledad Brother. It's hard to be a radical band in moderate times; it's hard to believe, in the age of the Backstreet Boys and a booming Dow, that music has meaning beyond SoundScan figures.

She successfully uses theories that have been applied to a colonial history to create a conceptual framework that addresses the unique perversities of a racism grounded in slavery. This is no small feat...
