Masks shines light on the street versions of what black America mistakenly believes they have...brother and sisterhood, loyalty to a uniform goal, respect, discipline, and the search for a permanent soulmate. We follow Raymond's life through drug abuse, failed relationships, dysfunctional middle class family life, untapped potential, a search for God, and divided focus. As we are horrified by his experiences as a black youth in a criminal organization, we are tapped on the shoulder by the shunned youth of our community. Afterwards, the urban youths who find themselves in Rah are pulled into his experiences in a historically Black college, a predominately white college, post graduate studies, a prestigious firm, a failing marriage and overt acts of racial prejudice in a corporate setting. Masks of the Darkest American Game . . . are learned by Raymond Tyler Mann in high school and in the crack game. In college classrooms as a student and in rat-infested abandoned houses as one of the homeless. By law professors and by retired hustlers. By the people he makes money for and the people he mercilessly kills. The entanglement of an intelligent hoodlum in a bloody heroin game. The intricate maze of manipulation, greed and paranoia that spawned from the 1980s' crack game. Ray's insatiable growing thirst for power and the robbery that started it all. This is an exposé for members of the African-American community who are separated from the overly ambitious, unorthodox, black sheep that almost always re-emerge from these invisible colleges of hard knocks with unbelievable stories of struggle, sacrifice, and bad luck. The hidden lives of these individuals either propel them to the forefront as leaders armed with far reaching intelligence, wisdom and understanding or force them into seclusion as well to do mutes that deny us the secrets to the master key of life. What does it take to kill a man and can the experience be suppressed? What leads a man to love one woman but still sleep around? How does a woman love a man but marry and bear children with another? Can either of these two people find happiness? What is it like for a black male who has to "turn himself" into a man, provider, protector, husband and success? How do you know the difference between immediate happiness, sexual attraction or financial security and that enduring relationship that will encompass it all? Tanya, Nia, Eric, Rah, Kareem, Empress, and Marcell seek answers in Masks. Paperback, Label: Sire Pub, Sire Pub, Product group: Book, Published: 2000-02-21, Studio: Sire Pub, Sales rank: 7382750.
