Enter the Anti is the true story of an American soldier on leave from West Germany who makes a detour to New York City and decides to stay. His new mission is not merely to survive, or seek fame and fortune, but to combat injustice and hypocrisy. In this provocative sequel to Face It, You're Black, author Mike Enrico recalls his NYC struggles, political awakening, and clashes with ideological opponents.



April 1986. Mike Enrico's journey began in the seedy Stapleton section of Staten Island, surrounded by bigots and heroin addicts. It's a lonely existence commuting by ferry back and forth, day after day, to a dead-end job, while stumbling out of bars at 3 AM. Determined to change course, he gravitates towards the creative arts and falls in love for the first time in his life. While working at Chthonian University, Mike discovers the revolutionary speeches of Malcolm X, and his life is radically changed. The battle cry for freedom, justice, and equality erupts after the 1999 police shooting of unarmed African immigrant Amadou Diallo. Mike's activist seeds are sown, and there's no turning back.

A daring Sagittariun, author Mike Enrico doesn't mind ruffling a few feathers to prove a point or rouse people out of their comfort zones. Although he's not yet a New York Times best-selling author, his memoir, Face It, You're Black, was chosen for the 2020 LA Times Festival of Books, one of the largest events in the United States. Mike lives in New York City with his wife Pamela, and their pet turtle Benito. If you want to know more about Mike, visit his website at www.twodroprule.com.
