"""(An) exciting, challenging, fervent polemic... (Ofari tells us) that the corporate power structure, through its connections with the philanthropic foundations, is preparing a new social-industrial complex to replace or supplement the military-industrial complex in order to throw a few more crumbs to the blacks and the poor whites. He sees capitalism, rather than men, as the real villain. Thinking social scientists should read this 'no-punches-pulled, ' researched, documented, dogmatic mixture of science and belief; it may shake some of their certainties. Recommended for social science collections.""--Library Journal (1970) ""Tightly reasoned.""--Bernard E. Anderson, Wharton School of Finance and Commerce University of Pennsylvania, The Review of Black Political Economy (1970)"

At the time, he had been already published in such publications as The Guardian and Los Angeles Free Press, and had crafted pamphlets for the Radical Education Project. Since then he has written extensively on race and politics for the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, Chicago Tribune, and The Baltimore Sun and become a nationally acclaimed author and social issues commentator.
