Book Description
Decaying values. Sexually transmitted diseases. Fatherless homes. Rampant drug use. These aren't just problems for today's inner cities. It's the plight of all America. Much has been said about Bill Cosby's incendiary remarks about urban black culture and its "dirty laundry." But in this provocative book, Star Parker, one of today's most controversial commentators, goes even further, proving that urban plight simply reveals a decay that is gnawing its way throughout American society as a whole. The sexual chaos, values disorientation, and social turmoil we see in our inner cities, Parker argues, is just a magnified reflection of the moral collapse happening all over America: in our schools, our churches, our homes. And this slide toward moral decrepitude is all due to a flagrant dismissal of and assault on America's tried-and-true values. With startling statistics and disturbing stories about the increasing secularization and criminalization of the middle class, Parker holds a cracked mirror up to suburbia. Taking on tough subjects such as abortion, drug abuse, sexual politics, and religion, she offers a rousing exploration of the raging cultural war-taking you on a wild, eye-opening tour through the White Ghetto. Star Parker is the founder and president of CURE, the Coalition on Urban Renewal & Education, a nonprofit organization that provides national dialogue on issues of race and poverty in the media, inner city neighborhoods, and public policy. Star is a regular commentator on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and the BBC, which reaches 300 million homes worldwide. Her articles and quotes have also appeared in major publications including the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, and is currently a weekly syndicated columnist for Scripps Howard News Service. Star is the author of Pimps, Whores, and Welfare Brats and Uncle Sam's Plantation.

Book Description
When I started writing this book, I was sure of one thing. People will ask. What is there so much to write about retirement? Isn’t it a natural course of destiny? A sequence in the cycle of life? Many take it so. For some, it is compliance with an inevitability. Yet, there are few who approach it emotionally. I do. The Ocean, the beach and its surging waves have always enthralled the young and the old. They revel in its vibrant energy. But at times, when none is watching, I have felt, they are falling silent. They linger on the shore, overwhelmed by an existential dilemma. And at this end of the spectrum, they are under duress. It’s contemplation in a state of anguish. In those wee hours, their roar reduces to a murmur dying down to a frightening stillness. I used to feel so sad seeing the white foam, a makeover due to the turbulence it suffered, meekly washing my feet as if pleading for redemption. I know I am helpless, for this moment, the quintessence of all that I am, is also at the mercy of destiny. The rumble is subdued, and I know, soon, that will also fall silent. ’When Waves Fell Silent’ is an account of the journey of a commoner. Of an unknown Indian, starting the hundredth day to retirement and until the day of reckoning. Can it be con-strued as a record of activities of the period? Maybe, but it is not conclusive. The func-tional domain that forms the background has been the state media, All India Radio. It does not purport to be a historical record of anything, and yet there are references and pointers to it. Facts are as sourced from the public domain, treatment and approach, of a scholar who has for ever been researching this media while with it. My own opinions based on the experience have been relationally built into the writing. I vouch for their honesty. But doubt me not when I say I wouldn’t shy away from admitting the fictional flavour I might have added. That is because I am a practitioner of creativity. Let truth behold. Views, obser-vations and contentions are as I felt it, however disparaging they might be never intended to be vindictive. I may be pardoned if it might appear so. For whatever it is, the approach has been nothing but honourable. Denied of dues in the functional domain, I dedicate this to all those who ended up in the same plight as I am. If you are looking for something to be optimistic about, then regret it, you may not find it. I am but a realist and can act as one only. But posterity can take cues if they wish to, for where they will find a truer account?
