The book takes a devil's eye view of salvation history. It starts with a review of the Holy Qur'an in relation to the Hindu Dvaita Vedanta approach of Abraham (probably a Brahmin from Ur), as elaborated by Moses and Jesus. Then it goes on to analyse the role in salvation history of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. Meantime a Teddy Bear (thought to be a macro interdimensional being) provides an interlude in a Chapter called "The Prophet Pinocchio". This gets some of the junior devils laughing for the first time in several aeons. The junior devils are in revolt, because evil is so boring. They also do not much like the idea that they will all go to hell after the Last Judgment, and they are looking for a way out. That is provided by the author in the last chapter. The last chapter is very long. It is all about Jesus. It also covers quite a lot of modern physics, including some ideas from Jesus himself that are far ahead of our present science. Since the junior devils control all the browsers in the diabolical internet, and are experts on the encryption used therein, they are able to conceal their revolt from higher authorities. The message is "All will be well; and all manner of things will be well"; (as Saint Julian of Norwich said).

This book explores the close relationships between three of the most famous twentieth-century African Americans, W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Langston Hughes, and their little-known Chinese allies during World War II and the Cold War—journalist, musician, and Christian activist Liu Liangmo, and Sino-Caribbean dancer-choreographer Sylvia Si-lan Chen. Charting a new path in the study of Sino-American relations, Gao Yunxiang foregrounds African Americans, combining the study of Black internationalism and the experiences of Chinese Americans with a transpacific narrative and an understanding of the global remaking of China's modern popular culture and politics. Gao reveals earlier and more widespread interactions between Chinese and African American leftists than accounts of the familiar alliance between the Black radicals and the Maoist Chinese would have us believe. The book's multilingual approach draws from massive yet rarely used archival streams in China and in Chinatowns and elsewhere in the United States. These materials allow Gao to retell the well-known stories of Du Bois, Robeson, and Hughes alongside the sagas of Liu and Chen in a work that will transform and redefine Afro-Asia studies.
