Description
Homeland, My Place Called Downhome An ADOS Perspective. Finding hope depends on knowing universal truths grounded in facts. The truth will sustain humankind by teaching love, respect and do no harm. However, these positions deserve inspection if we seek a world where love, respect and do no harm to one another may reign. Homeland is where naming home pulls emotions. There is no place like home. This book is about preserving homelands and race/ethnic relations in a global world viewed from an American Descendant of Slavery perspective. Finding hope depends on knowing universal truths grounded in facts. The truth will sustain humankind by teaching love, respect and do no harm. Homeland, My Place Called Downhome is my assessment of homeland building and rules, human nature and interactions, including in-group and out-group maintenance. Some readers will not accept my premises and conclusions. Some will feel that they disrupt what is believed, what they have based life decisions upon. However, these positions deserve inspection if we seek a world where love, respect and do no harm to one another may reign.
