This book 'Against the Edge - Patient or Prisoner' is part of the written story of my life's experience in pursuit of a vision and mission given to me when I had an epiphany in 1977 at age 34. In the vision was shown a vivid picture of a new political and economic order for the 21st century, led by new political awakening for Barbadians and other people of the Caribbean region; I was given a mission that includes the uniting of my family as a single unit to inspire the unification of the Afrikan family globally; the acquisition of economic power by 'black people' and I saw the end of Apartheid in South Africa and of the global oppression of white supremacy (Racism). This book represents my incarceration in two total institutions - mental hospital and prison - and also details my FORTY YEAR pursuit for justice against my human rights violations.
