Synopsis

Hector G. Balcazar's first book, No Wonder! The Art of Creating a New World started a new dialogue for building a more hopeful future in which humanity cares for one another's wellbeing using the Community Health Worker model. In that first book, which took the form of a memoir, the author uses his work in public health to present his vision to build communities utilizing a bridge of human connection.

Utilizing a storytelling approach, Erasing Historical Invisibility: Creating a Compassionate World further elevates the concept of humanity caring for one another and building a more hopeful future. With themes such as erasing historical invisibility and creating a compassionate world, the author examines the story of our past and presents a positive framework for the future.

With Erasing Historical Invisibility, the author takes a historical perspective as to why humanity has not yet advanced to increase the human spirit. He suggests humanity has utilized an "old recipe" which distracts the collective maturity from evolving. The reader is invited to learn about the "old recipe," the role of human invisibility, and what "new recipes" are needed.

In Erasing Historical Invisibility, the author describes humanity as a conqueror species and how humanity evolved to create human invisibility. Using the Roman Empire, Mexico, and the United States as examples, the author presents the need for dismantling the "old recipe." Showcasing themes such as re-examining our human collective experience, moving towards regional and community life, and the concept of "antidotes" to build new model frameworks for creating a collective maturity and a safe world.
