This book was first published in French with a significant title Le Triangle et l’Hexagone, which represents and evokes the Atlantic triangle and the geographical form of France among other personal, socio-political historical facts such as the transatlantic slave trade, colonization, post-colonization, etc. The paperback was published during Black History Month, which is significant. Dr. Soumahoro offers, among other things, a brilliant analysis of what learning French meant to her as a woman of Ivorian origin.

This great book was published by Random House Canada. It should be translated into other languages such as French and Spanish. The author, Wes Hall, is a dragon investor for the popular Canadian show Dragon’s Den (two of the dragons are also part the hit American TV show Shark Tank starring Kevin O’Leary and Robert Herjavec). Hall is the executive chairman and founder of Kingsdale Advisors. He played crucial roles for multi-million and billion-dollar transactions by major companies like Air Canada, Citygroup, Petro Canada, etc.
This very moving and candid autobiography speaks for many people: immigrants, those who suffered from child abuse by a parent, those who overcame poverty thanks to education and a positive outlook of life in spite of hurdles. Hence, the author shares his personal and professional journey.

It is a very important book written by the former president of the American Sociological Association, Dr. Joe Feagin and Dr. Karyn McKinney, an expert in sociology. Racial inequalities concern everybody, and society as a whole pays for it because people are interrelated. The race relations problematic may represent a threat to democracy. Therefore, the impacts of racism are broad, they can affect mental and/or physical health, the quality of life economically, socially, professionally, and so on. Discrimination may be covert or overt. In other words, it takes different forms.

This brilliant and hard-hitting autobiography was written by renowned author and journalist Alex Haley. It portrays Malcolm X (El-Hajj Malek El-Shabazz (in Arabic: الحاج مالك الشباز) who did not wear a White mask, a concept popularized by the late famous psychiatrist Dr. Fanon. Malcolm X openly and bluntly denounced discrimination suffered by Black people. He was against compromise and did not hesitate to denounce the Uncle Toms of his time as well as the duplicity of people claiming to be allies of Blacks. He blamed the enemies of African-Americans. In the book, readers will discover his transformation as well as his paradigm based on a Pan-Africanist vision notably reinforced following his trips to Africa and the Middle East. Malcolm X was an intrepid, resilient, fascinating and complex character due to the fact that after finding himself in delinquency, he converted within the prison environment into an autodidact and tribune. In addition, he adopted Islam as a new religion to become a preacher and activist. Malcolm X also knew how to transform himself on a personal level. He got married and became a family man. He loved his wife and children thoroughly.
