In a few years the White Aryan Resistance and the Nation of Islam will divide Amercia into racist regimes. Saab Lofton’s A.D. starts with a look at one man’s life under Farrakan’s regime, then dives centuries into the future to look at a Libertarian Socialist Democracy, Saab’s vision of Utopia. The exposure of the inherently corrupt nature of nationalist ideologies, and the revival of the spirit of the original Black Panther Party, lies at the heart of A.D., an informed, obsessively researched and highly entertaining first novel by the 28-year old Saab Lofton. A blend of pulp and politics structured in two sections, A.D. re-imagines both the creation mythologies of the Nation of Islam and the dystopias of George Orwell’s ‘1984’ and ‘Animal Farm’ as a racially segregated America ruled by the Nation of Islam and White Aryan Resistance.
