In "An Other's Mind" you get a firsthand look at the yet
unaddressed core issue that has rendered the United States a
more sharply divided nation than ever. Fact is, we may all share
the same longing that ours be a society that is fair, just, free,
equal and democratic, but these themes, fundamental as they are,
have markedly different contexts for those of us flourishing in the
mainstream than for those of us struggling at the margins. An
impaired person might for example perceive that it is only fair
that at the expense of the rest of us public places be rendered
handicapped-accessible so that he or she might have entree to what
the rest of us take as a given. Yet a post 60's populace, weaned on
New Order, think tank, paradigms, seems to more and more agree that
true fairness demands that we all, crippled and able-bodied alike,
surmount the same flight of stairs on our own. More so than
race, class, culture, politics, language, and so forth, it is this
divergence of perception that buries even the most basic and
well-intended initiatives of social policy in a maelstrom of
heated, discordant ambiance and which constitutes the newest
frontier in the battle for social progress and a truly united
nation.Recognizing this and the urgent interest that we might yet
come to understand one another and thereby reach greater accord as
human beings, Luis Quiros delivers, in this unique volume, a first
call to arms, by offering you a rich, vivid, personal and visionary
look at the inner workings and arcs of critical thought that
percolate inside an other's mind.= -Lee Stringer, award-winning
author of "Grand Central Winter: Stories From the Street"; "Like
shaking Hands With God," and "Sleepaway"" School"," Stories From a
Boy's Life."
