Shadow Dancing

Award winning author Dr Kathryn Waddell Takara provides a compelling and intimate traveling stage through her pictorial poems that witness her impressions of the waking of a sleeping dragon - the New China, including the startling successes and disquieting obstacles and corruption. She likewise illuminates the reader of Chinese spiritual qualities, history, and their continuing reverence for knowledge, ancestors, and nature. Most strikingly, Takara experienced the historically raicially unfamiliar climate for many Black people who have sojoured in China.
