{"product_id":"9781499024258","title":"Affirmative Action: From A Caribbean Perspective","description":"“This is an honest gut wrenching narrative of transparent truths. A journey written from a personal pen; simple, careful and urgent. An emergence of refreshing memories that from a non-radial tale tells the kernel of “affi rmative action;” the power of true access to education in a swelling chorus of truths and experiences. We live in the same cities, but we don’t talk to each other…..most folks don’t have a clue what the real journey has been for some blacks. Dr. Patricia Ferdinand succeeds in sharing with a “small island” naivety that is simply refreshing.  Rosie Gordon-Wallace, Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator  “This book highlights an amazing journey that is shared by the Caribbean matriarchs who I cherish and learn from. I see how their presence and choices serve as a model for our children and grandchildren. I see how invaluable having such a strong, focused mother was to my development and education both within the walls of a school and externally in how I have come to approach my professional life.” Constance Simpson  “Provides amazing insight into Patricia’s educational experience that relates to women of the Caribbean, and to women in America today. A big call to women of Africa descent of all ages to give birth; as Patricia does; and inspire new lives.” Violet Johnson  “ A terrifi c reminder that in every area of our lives God is in charge and cares about us; especially when we are faithful to Him.” Clive McDonald","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174122307824,"sku":"9781499024258","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781499024258_p0.jpg?v=1763706295","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781499024258","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
