Ground Breaking New Book by Political Analyst and Noted Author Earl Ofari Hutchinson Examines the Nation’s Hot Button Political Issues in Spanish The First Book by an African-American Author Written Completely in Spanish for Spanish Language Readers Political analyst and noted author Earl Ofari Hutchinson’s landmark new book Political Los Pensamientos de las Politicas Controversiales (thoughts on controversial political issues) is a wide ranging, hard hitting book that tackles the hot button political issues that have torn the nation. The topics include abortion, relations with Cuba, the GOP and President Obama, the health care battles, the myths about Nelson Mandela, the turmoil in the Catholic Church, and the fight over Gay Marriage. The book sends many messages about language and politics, says Hutchinson, But most importantly my aim is to enrich the social and political literary life of the nation through the adept use of Spanish by an American writer. He escrito diez libros en ingles de temas diversos. Todos han sido escritos en ingles. Principalmente, han sido acerca de temas politicos, sociales, y especialmente sobre racismo. The book is groundbreaking in one more sense. It is the first work by an African-American writer on controversial political and social issues written by the author and published purely in Spanish. The author wanted this book to be a bridge between Spanish speaking readers concerned about the compelling political issues in the United States and beyond and English language American authors. No deseo que, Los Pensamientos de las Politicas Con-troversiales sea leido y discutido solamente entre los hispanos a los que les gustan las ideas politicas. Al final, quiero que el libro represente una inspiracion para que ot-ros negros escriban, lean y discutan los temas controver-siales con un amplio numero de personas de varias identidades en los Estados Unidos y en otros paises. The issues examined in the book were chosen both to deal with some of the most controversial issues in recent days but also to appeal to a wide range of readers both English and Spanish speaking, says Hutchinson, who regularly debate, discuss, and engage in action on the range of issues and causes that Los Pensamientos addresses.
