On the 13th rung of a Dogon ladder, the elders agree that Asili Ya Nadhiri has pre-futured certain revelations that appear in DEMOCRACTY IN BLACK: HOW RACE STILL ENSLAVES THE AMERICAN SOUL (New York: Crown, 2016) by Eddie S. Glaude , Jr. Coming from angles that at first seem remote, Nadhiri and Glaude illuminate why failure to come to terms with entanglement is a choice that oils the path to cognitive damnation.
