Breaking Barriers is a poignant memoir that offers the reader a glimpse into the depths of Imani’s incredible journey of hope, love, and rediscovery. It is an unvarnished, in-your-face recollection, reflection, and exhortation that will help you realign to the purposes of God and the destiny He has ordained for you. From the challenges faced as an interracial couple, relocating to another continent, and navigating the complexities of life as a foreigner living in Uganda, her story takes an unexpected turn with the untimely loss of her husband, mere moments after their first anniversary. Buffeted by torrents of grief, pain, fears, uncertainties, and hopelessness, she graphically yet candidly brings the reader into specific points of her journey, and the struggles of trying to move forward in a world that seemed to have left her behind. This narrative explores the profound questions that arise when well-meaning voices attempt to console her with promises of a brighter tomorrow. Can God meet her in the eye of the storm and piece the shattered fragments of her life back together, allowing her to grow a new heart and find the strength to embrace life again?

Breaking Barriers shows how to redesign high schools so that all students can move on to college and successful careers. In a negation of the American Dream, a child’s zip code is currently a far better predictor of success than hard work, intelligence, or resilience. This book tells the story of a school model that focuses on equity and works to prove that all young people can achieve academic excellence given the right support. P-TECH (Pathways in Technology Early College High School) combines public high schools and community colleges in partnership with employers, providing both opportunity and support for all students. This innovative and effective approach eliminates barriers to replication by engaging all stakeholders. The first P-TECH, which opened in a low-income Brooklyn neighborhood, is now a model for school reform. Praised by President Obama and heads of nations, its story is told through the voices of students who have shattered the myths about which students can succeed. “Breaking Barriers is a compelling read. It shows that a clear pathway from school, to college, to career goes beyond an aspiration—it’s achievable, and for all students. The global success of P-Tech schools is something education, government, and business leaders need to learn about and get behind.” —Arne Duncan, former United States Secretary of Education “Breaking Barriers is a must-read. The P-Tech story shows that quality schools leading to not just a high school diploma but college completion and career success are critical to our future. This is the kind of opportunity and support that must be provided to all students, regardless of income or race.” —Darren Walker, president, Ford Foundation

Breaking Barriers is a collection of invited contributions by distinguished philosophers, scientists, and religious thinkers of East and West in honor of Professor Ramakrishna Puligandla. The twenty-three essays in this volume may be divided into four groups: (1) Philosophy of Advaita, (2) Buddhism, (3) Indian Philosophy and Physics, and (4) Asian and Comparative Thought. Contributors have written on topics such as the phenomenology of consciousness, science and religion, and comparative philosophy and religion. The volume is designed to stimulate the interest of students, professors, and all those who wish to explore new knowledge. In this volume, the creative thought of leading thinkers from principal universities in India and elsewhere transcends words without insight, barren arguments, and all limiting paradigms. Breaking Barriers thus represents a multi-disciplinary approach informed by cross-cultural philosophical vision. Modern physics and classical Indian philosophy exist here in unity.
