There is an intellectual vacuum in Canadian public affairs. There is no body of black analytical writing touching on community life, touching on the political interaction of the host society and the black citizenry and the sociological conclusions that may be drawn. That vacuum has now been filled by Odida T. Quamina, filled with essays that first appeared as opinion columns in the black press, columns that dealt with the entire anatomy of black-and-white civil issues, which is to say, all those issues which have been grievously neglected till now.
