The slated release for the book is early 2010; however the young author has made it almost an idiosyncrasy of his to operate tentatively and has not officially stated when, or even if, the book will ever debut. With elements ranging from philosophy, history, religion, and even hip-hop, Andre masterfully pieced this, in what is said to even be a "manifesto", in a way so to appeal, firstly, to his friends and contemporaries, and secondly, to the wider audience of readers far outside his demographic. "A Soapbox Polemic" (for short) is a precociously, prescriptive argument on how the "Renaissance Generation"--a composite of Americans presumed less conscious and starkly reputed as hopeless whose hour of social and political amelioration has arrived--is going to propel the nation into a more modern era. Having already received consideration and support from a wide range of guests--Dr. Cornel West, Veronica Conway, Jeff Chang; friend, Nicole B. Simpson, and Bishop Dale Bronner--Andre has evidently found a way to coalesce not only a wide range of rudimentary elements, but also generations, educations, perspectives, and backgrounds making his book a peculiar "must read" for this era.
