Whether in the dawn, high noon, or late afternoon of life, Merida Musings offers a delicious smorgasbord of infotainment from a Black American (Afrodescendant) vantage point. This compact volume's intriguing Black American focused topics and perspectives and persistent melodic pace can provide a ride on a pillowy, sometimes billowy, cloud through nine musings during a small fraction of a morning, afternoon, or evening. It is a hybrid work that blends the light air of vignette-like submissions typically expected from essayists and carefully considered and formal information expected from scholars of the economist variety. It will spur an upspring of memories and thoughtful introspections. It is informative, challenging, and motivating. As you read through, you will experience the arising of intentions to share and discuss these musings with family, friends, and associates--maybe even enemies. It is certainly worthy of a left click that will enable your sampling of what is likely to be one of your most memorable reads this year.
