While this book does not purport or pretend to have all the answers to the many socio-political challenges that we face in life, it certainly does raise some thought-provoking questions for us to think through. I hasten to add, however, that the book is not a work of fiction. Rather, it is an example of public intellectualism in the social sciences. The book distills complex ideas into easily discernible ideas. Such is a cardinal objective of the book-to provoke some critical thinking on topical themes pertaining to socio-political inquiry. This objective is pursued through the use of metaphors and musings. In many cultures, especially those that place much emphasis on oral tradition, knowledge is often handed down to the younger generation through various adages, sayings, metaphors, musings, and stories told by the elders to the younger folks around the fireplace. This book attempts to draw from such a tradition, lighting the fireplace and then distilling some untapped wisdom for posterity and the readership.
