THE ISIS PAPERS

We are now nearing the final decade of the 20th century. The great African in America, the sociologist historian W.E.B. DuBois, identified the problem of this century as the “problem of the color-line” (Souls of Black Folk, 1903). Thus, it is fortunate that in the final decade of the 20th century as basis for the solution to the problem of the color-line has been produced. This basis rests in an adequate analysis of the nature of the color-line-the exact nature of local and global racism. Ultimately, the conscious decision by people of color worldwide (The overwhelming majority of the world’s population) to base their behavior in relationships on an exact analysis and definition of racism as white supremacy will change its appearance and activity on planet Earth. Just as the problem of the color-line (racism) has controlled events in the 20th century (and prior centuries), the solution to the problem will regulate events in the 21st century and beyond as we enter the era of justice.

-From the Preface

During the course of the struggle of African People against European racism, brutality and domination, many innovative thinkers have risen from our ranks. The greatest and most courageous scholars have devoted their lives to the pursuit of an explanation for the virtually inherent animosity most white people appear to have toward people of color. Unlike her predecessors, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, a brilliant, Washington, D.C. psychiatrist has rejected conventional notions about the origin and perpetuation of racism. Dr. Welsing’s theories, lectures and scientific papers have provoked controversy for over twenty years. Now the compilation of her work in The Isis Papers is destine to change the course of history.
