The Next Test Of Men (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990027911)

Rudwaan is Eternal Spirit having a human experience as an Afrikan born in Tobago currently living in America. To him Spoken Word is not just a stage performance but a lifestyle, a way of being, of thinking, it is in the conversations he engages in, and it is in the life he lives, what he writes and recites is his authentic Divine Afrikan worldview. Rudwaan was a driving force of the Poetry renaissance experienced worldwide during the 1990s. Out of Atlanta, he along with many other prolific Poets would erect and grow stages responsible for a poetic movement that consumed 7 days a week and invaded venues not originally designed for Poetry expressions. Rudwaan lives his life's purpose to agitate the Afrikan Collective Consciousness towards accepting their Divine Role as gardeners, caretakers and life-givers on this planet earth, to re-assume their role and responsibilities as the mothers and fathers of civilization, to this end he constantly fans the flames for the demand for reparations from the governments of the European Nations, the United States of America and the Vatican who were actively involved and benefitted from the criminal enslavement of the Afrikan peoples. He advances that as the dominant gene the Afrikan peoples must come out from under the domination and authority of the recessive gene peoples.
