RAISED IN WRATH

This novel is not another rehearsal of the vast facts and figures concerning Ghetto Life, but identifies it's deeper contentions and concerns, and assesses institutionalized racism. It is of landmark importance for it offers insight, and perhaps most important, provides a continuous narrative backbone. This is a critical novel, which examines the assumptions and approaches the pain inflicted on Ghetto Life where necessary. I recognize the importance of keeping in the broad highway of thought. I write for a broad readership rather than one narrowly defined by certain cultural identities.
RAISED IN WRATH is more than just a novel of a changed man. It is the chronicle of Orlando Woods's life who breaks from his street tradition; a man who was in prison; one of very few who transcends the conflict to become a political figure; and a rare Muslim who, in freeing his mind of his demons, also became free to give his leadership to the poverty stricken.
