In 2004, the author of this book participated in a bonding trip
with his life time friend Michael, and their two fathers. The four
traveled to Africa and Europe and the experience inspired Roderick
to write this book. Roderick accurately takes the reader "Full
Circle" through a journey of Africa's history from the time she was
the envy of the world, through her dark era of slavery and
colonialism, to her return as the most important continent in the
world during the 21st century. He makes a compelling case how every
industrialized nation will become dependent on the natural
resources of the continent to sustain their economies in the 22nd
century. Full Circle is a powerful and controversial book that
takes on a range of social, political, racial, and religious
issues. Roderick not only highlights the concerns he has with
today's educational systems, politics, and religions; he gives the
reader his opinion and solutions for these perils. Throughout "Full
circle" Roderick confronts the American media for the negative
image it has portrayed of Africa for centuries. He goes on to
identify the effects on the psyche of African Americans being
indoctrinated with negativity about the continent of their origin
and the false sense of inferiority by Europeans derived from the
same propaganda.Roderick addresses three practices he identifies as
the three B's of colonialism, the Bible, the Bullet, and the
Ballot. He begins by unfolding the creation of the Jewish Torah,
the Christian Bible, and the Muslim's Quran, chronologically. He
uses actual events in history to expose the violence in America and
abroad, and emphasizes the importance of participating in politics.
Roderick makes his best effort to encourage African Americans to
embrace their African heritage in preparation for the reawakening
of the continent. He provides an undeniable case for Africa
becoming the world's next "Super Power" in the 22nd century, with
out firing a shot.
