Ishmael Reed Quote
The Jes Grew crisis was becoming acute. Compounding it, Black Yellow and Red Mu'tafikah were looting the museums shipping the plunder back to where it came from. America, Europe's last hope, the protector of the archives of mankind's achievements had come down with a bad case of Jes Grew and Mu'tafikah too. Europe can no longer guard the fetishes of civilizations which were placed in the various Centers of Art Detention, located in New York City. Bootlegging Houses financed by Robber Barons, Copper Kings, Oil Magnets, Tycoons and Gentlemen Planters. Dungeons for the treasures from Africa, South America and Asia.The army devoted to guarding this booty is larger than those of most countries. Justifiably so, because if these treasures got into the wrong hands (the countries from which they were stolen) there would be renewed enthusiasms for the Ikons of the aesthetically victimized civilizations.
