THE BANDANA REPUBLIC
foreword by Jim Brown
“The Bandana Republic is the most provocative, researched, educational, opinionated piece of work that I’ve ever read . . . In its own provocative way, The Bandana Republic makes you think, reflect, cry. I recommend to all of you, and to all people who purchase this anthology: read it, learn from it, try to draw your own conclusions.
