Psychology has had a number of things to say about black and coloured people, none of them favourable, and most of which have reinforced stereotyped and derogatory images. Beyond the Masks is a readable account of black psychology, exploring key theoretical issues in race and gender. In it, Amina Mama examines the history of racist psychology, and of the implicit racism throughout the discipline. Beyond the Masks also offers an important theoretical perspective, and will appeal to all those involved with ethnic minorities, gender politics and questions of identity.

About the Book: "Beyond the Masks" is the belief of a group of articulate writers from around the Globe that 'On the Wings of Hope we shall see a new dawn' "Beyond the Masks" is not only an anthology of poems but a book canvassing myriad of emotions and feelings from anguish, anxiety, fears, concern to finally finding hope during the Coronavirus Pandemic.

In "Beyond Masks," Alex embarks on a gripping journey of redemption and discovery amidst a world rife with betrayal and deceit. As they navigate the treacherous terrain of power and prosperity, Alex confronts their own demons while unraveling a tangled web of lies that threatens to consume them. With allies and adversaries lurking in the shadows, every step forward brings them closer to the truth and closer to reclaiming what was lost. But as the stakes escalate and secrets come to light, Alex must confront the darkness within themselves to emerge victorious. "Beyond Masks" is a riveting tale of courage, resilience, and the enduring power of hope in the face of adversity-a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative journey of self-discovery.

Many books have one story, one journey. For Book of Masks, however, not everything is as it seems. Though this is one book, there are five stories, five different journeys. Alex is a misunderstood kid, but so is Will, Brian, Hunter, and Danny. Each of them must find solutions to their issues and do so both through personal action and through the help of some mystical characters, including Father Christmas. With faith and magic, these kids will see beyond the darkness of their own pain and beyond their masks into the world around them. Whether you relate to the misunderstood, the misunderstanding, or the guiding friends of these stories; perhaps this book will help you to look beyond the masks. Not everything is black and white, good and evil. Sometimes there are shades of gray. Sometimes there is more than just a mask and more than just a story.

Who are you behind the mask? Many Christian women today are wearing masks. From an early age, we are taught that to be valuable we need to do more, to be more. To feel worthy, we learn to hide behind the masks of our accomplishments, physical appearance, intelligence, education, relationships-even our work in the church. But those masks separate us from God, from other people, and from our true selves. Thankfully, there is hope. We can remove our masks and trust Christ to see us as we really are . . . but it takes humility. To examine our hearts, motives, and past experiences requires honesty and confession. But beyond the masquerade, Christ can heal and transform our lives, freeing us from bondage. If you're ready to live authentically, lay aside your mask and enter the place of freedom God calls you to-a place where you can be the woman God created you to be.
