Step Into the Shadows Where Power and History Collide

In Front of The Big House: You Cannot Erase History takes readers on a profound journey into the heart of monumental institutions–those imposing structures that silently govern our lives and narratives. This compelling exploration reveals the layers of meaning behind the facades of power, shedding light on the stories often left untold.

From the grandeur of architecture to the voices echoing from its steps, the book unpacks how these iconic "Big Houses" embody more than just stone and mortar. Discover the intersection of justice, race, and gender as personal accounts breathe life into the imposing walls, confronting the legacies of colonialism and social divides that linger within these spaces. Each chapter unravels a new dimension, from the socio-political implications of public protest to the subtle ways power is maintained through surveillance and control.

In Front of The Big House doesn't simply recount history–it challenges readers to reconsider the narratives that have been constructed and who benefits from them. Through riveting case studies, comparative global perspectives, and deeply human stories, it pushes the conversation beyond the physical buildings and into the emotional landscapes shaped by fear, hope, and resistance.

Whether you are drawn to architecture, social justice, or the untold stories of those who stand before these monumental institutions, this book offers an eye-opening perspective that insists history's imprint cannot be erased. It calls for reflection, understanding, and a reimagining of the spaces that define authority in our world.
