Fred also has a critically acclaimed book out on Duke University Press Afro Asia: Revolutionary Politcal & Cultural Connections Between African Americans & Asian Americans which is available here. Here is what Publishers Weekly had to say about it:

"This essay collection reveals historical events, political activities and aesthetic ideas that link African-Americans and Asian-Americans. Although a chasm is sometimes presumed to exist between the two groups, this book reveals the two diasporas’ intersecting paths from the 19th century to the present day," Publishers Weekly

As you can see, Fred has been keeping very busy and hopes to see you at the show. You can also get news updates and read his cancer journals by visiting his myspace blog.
