Deported to Paradise ― Essays and Memories

Deported to Paradise is a series of free-floatal nonfiction essays which traverse the contemporary landscape of repression and corporate ownership and asks the question: What can be done in the face of the dumbing-down process which masquerades itself as freedom of choice? Be it Britain or America, the choice is the same: wealth or irrelevance. Edgar Nkosi White writes how even the church has become an apologist for the gospel of prosperity and has joined forces with lobbyist and right-wing corporations everywhere. Trapped in the world of clones and drones, it seems that total surveillance and third-world surrender is all in the name of the freedom lottery. White’s book promotes awareness, spirituality, and activism, covering a wide range of topics yet with a singleness of vision.

Edgar Nkosi White is the author of Underground, and several plays that have been performed in such places as the Cafe La Mama Theatre, in Central Park, and the New York Public Theater. He is an ordained minister and has made prison ministry a major factor in his life, performing frequent theater workshops at Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
