The idea for Fiction or Prophecy was born through a casual discussion with a neighbor in the author’s family room. The discussion was based on the news that one of the terrorists claimed that they were secretly developing a backpack nuclear bomb and planned on bombing ten of our largest city. Our officials wrote it off as an idle threat, and that they could never get ten nuclear backpacks into the country. The neighbor questioned how they could say that, when a million Mexicans cross our borders daily, with backpacks of drugs, weapons, and personal items.

The author, Angelo Crapanzano was ninety-six years old when he finished his fourteenth novel. After that novel was published he could not think of any subject that would be good for his next novel. About six months later he got a very serious throat infection. After eight days in the hospital he went home. Due to the problem he had he could not lay down flat. That would cause the mucus to go down the throat and cause coughing and blocked his breathing. At home, for a week he had to sleep on a Recliner that keeps his body in a partial sitting position. His family finally got him a bed that had ends that could be raised in a half-sitting position. That was fine for him. However, there was a side effect when lying on your back even if it was in a half-sitting position. It was that it gave a person strange dreams. Author Mr. Crapanzano had these dreams. They were like short stories. Half of the stories in this novel were obtained from the author's dreams.
Black Morocco: A History of Slavery, Race, and Islam chronicles the experiences, identity and achievements of enslaved black people in Morocco from the sixteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. Chouki El Hamel argues that we cannot rely solely on Islamic ideology as the key to explain social relations and particularly the history of black slavery in the Muslim world, for this viewpoint yields an inaccurate historical record of the people, institutions and social practices of slavery in Northwest Africa. El Hamel focuses on black Moroccans' collective experience beginning with their enslavement to serve as the loyal army of the Sultan Isma'il. By the time the Sultan died in 1727, they had become a political force, making and unmaking rulers well into the nineteenth century. The emphasis on the political history of the black army is augmented by a close examination of the continuity of black Moroccan identity through the musical and cultural practices of the Gnawa.
