Blackness and the Dreaming Soul is an account of a long journey of
self-discovery involving an ever deepening awareness of the causes
of our current alienation from each other and the natural
primordial world. It is an alchemical venture, exploring the
darkness of the human psyche: being black and trapped in a white
culture, as well as being white and caught in an ambush of denial.
Written without bitterness and recrimination, Blackness & the
Dreaming Soul is neither pure biography nor philosophical
manifesto, but grows out of the author's childhood as the great
grandson of a slave in British Guiana. The book chronicles his
career during a long sojourn in Britain, as a World War II RAF
officer (two years spent as a prisoner of war in Nazi Germany),
qualifying as a barrister at law, to a career in show business
spanning stage, film, radio and TV. In the late 50s, Cy's was the
first black face to appear regularly on television, singing the
news in calypso. Blackness & the Dreaming Soul transcends
attempts at categorization. It is a reconstruction of the way we
make our reality, a journey leading the author to a holistic
outlook beyond the frustrations that have dogged his life, beyond
anger, beyond division and polarity, to a vision of unity in
diversity in which all things are connected; man and nature, earth
and cosmos. In the 1970s, Cy Grant was chairman and co-founder of
DRUM, the first black arts centre in Britain. In the 80s, he was
Director of CONCORD multicultural Festivals, celebrating British
cultural diversity when the idea of multiculturalism was not so
popular. Cy is an Honorary Fellow of the University of Roehampton,
a member of the Scientific & Medical Network and author of Ring
of Steel, pan sound & symbol, the story of the evolution of the
Trinidad Steelpan. "Blackness & the Dreaming Soul does not pull
its punches - it has its finger smack on the pulse of what is
eating away at the very heart of civil society in Britain''
