Under The Dragon's Wings
A nonfiction cover for a direct argument about profit, systems, and Black boys. The jacket has to carry a long title without softening the claim.
By William Capers. Nonfiction cover design. Paperback.
The Profit-Driven Trap That Chains Black Boys
About the book
Under the Dragon's Wings: The Profit-Driven Trap That Chains Black Boys is an education exposé by William Capers, M.Ed. in Special Education. It argues that special education labels, zero-tolerance discipline, and over-diagnosis work together as an industry that profits from Black boys, and it closes with a blueprint for parents and educators.
The paperback runs 312 pages and was published in September 2025. On Amazon it is shelved under Education & Teaching and Parent Participation.
A nonfiction book cover that states the argument
The title is a metaphor, so the subtitle has to land the argument in plain words. The cover sets "Under the Dragon's Wings" in large orange and white capitals, then "The Profit-Driven Trap That Chains Black Boys" directly beneath it, so a shopper reads the claim in one glance.
The image does the rest: a large school building and a boy with his head down on a desk. The author line carries his credential, M.Ed. Special Education, because authority matters on a book that challenges a system.
