Full of humor, drama and fantasy, revealing the exploits of Lit E, a successful, young African-American businessman who travels to Africa to experience his ancestry firsthand. Its hands-on he wants, and his prayers are answered, as he collides head-to-head, face-to-face in an all-too-real slave saga. Touring the slave quarters and indoctrination center, Lit meets surreal character Harriet Tugman, cousin of Harriet Tubman, freer of slaves. From there, he is swiftly sucked into the dimension of African Slavery, at the hands of American and European slave owners and masters. His speech even changes to slave speak dialect of those around him. In search of the sadistic slave indoctrinator, Willie Lynch, Lits is a sacred mission to destroy the bastard and bring him to justice. Lits unique, divinely-inspired gift - He can enter bodies and souls and exact poetic revenge on soulless slave merchants. At Lits coaxing, slave traders wither and degenerate into ugly old, helpless goats. The one credo Lit must follow: He is not to do anything that would alter history. No direct interaction with those whom he encounters from the slave era, which would change historys course. Lit becomes one with Tugman, literally sharing her soul and her body, as hes transported into the violent hell of 19th century African slavery. Thereon, he is essentially transformed into a body-occupying undercover agent, jumping, literally, from Harriet Tugmans body and soul then inside the dark heart of the most infamous evil-doers of the dark ages of African slavery. Seeking retribution, his small but significant contribution to avenging the wrongs of 400 years of ruthless African slave trading and merciless exploitation. Incredible twist ending will bring out the animal in readers and leave them howling, barking, yelping and neighing for more!

The African American saga in the land of Uncle Sam is an empirical tale of drama replete with conflict and struggle, at the physical, spiritual, and psychological level, as individually and collectively experienced by Africans in America. Preoccupations and concern with identity issues have been a driving force in spurring many black American leaders and intellectuals, the like of Dr. W.E.B. Dubois, to espouse the uniqueness of the American Negro's dual identity and inheritance, an inescapable product of their African ancestral heritage and American experience. Addressing this psychological and genetic dualism encoded within the African-American, Dr. Dubois once asserted and concluded that it was indeed possible to "wear both hats": that of Africa, and that of America. However, coming to terms with this double consciousness requires a gradual process of unlearning and deconstruction that engages the individual self. In the beginning pages of this book, the author sets the tone to what appears to be a journey of self-discovery, once he sets foot in Africa. He (Lit space E-the protagonist) goes through great length depicting the inner psychological struggle raging from within himself as his prior mis-education and mental programming that schools and the western social media had deceitfully projected, collides headlong with the reality of Africa, a continent on uphill mobility. Paradoxically, unlike the Tarzan image depicted by Hollywood, Lit gradually comes to grips with the depth of western deception as his African adventure unfolds. This progressive realization of the misrepresentation of the true African identity and heritage was central to the internal conflict that was raging in the innermost confines of the narrator's mind. He was now an eye-witness and "real-time" observer of the beauty and majesty of the Motherland. Undoubtedly, this mental re-examination was not only an eye opener, but more importantly, it helped expose lies and dispel misconceptions and the.

The African American saga in the land of Uncle Sam is an empirical tale of drama replete with conflict and struggle, at the physical, spiritual, and psychological level, as individually and collectively experienced by Africans in America. Preoccupations and concern with identity issues have been a driving force in spurring many black American leaders and intellectuals, the like of Dr. W.E.B.

Addressing this psychological and genetic dualism encoded within the African-American, Dr. Dubois once asserted and concluded that it was indeed possible to “wear both hats”: that of Africa, and that of America. However, coming to terms with this double consciousness requires a gradual process of unlearning and deconstruction that engages the individual self. In the beginning pages of this book, the author sets the tone to what appears to be a journey of self-discovery, once he sets foot in Africa. He (Lit space E-the protagonist) goes through great length depicting the inner psychological struggle raging from within himself as his prior mis-education and mental programming that schools and the western social media had deceitfully projected, collides headlong with the reality of Africa, a continent on uphill mobility. Paradoxically, unlike the Tarzan image depicted by Hollywood, Lit gradually comes to grips with the depth of western deception as his African adventure unfolds. This progressive realization of the misrepresentation of the true African identity and heritage was central to the internal conflict that was raging in the innermost confines of the narrator’s mind. He was now an eye-witness and “real-time” observer of the beauty and majesty of the Motherland. Undoubtedly, this mental re-examination was not only an eye opener, but more importantly, it helped expose lies and dispel misconceptions and the distorted image about the Continent as a waste land still entrenched in backwardness. This critical introspection, inevitably, helped resurrect and empower the dormant spirit of Kunta the warrior within Lit, the protagonist, by setting the records straight and truth back into perspective. To the narrator, as to many African American brethren, ‘Roots” of Alex Haley is the most popular near-authentic historical source of reference that documents the African American journey from Freedom (in homeland Africa), through the Middle passage (conditioning), to servitude/bondage and slavery in America. This progressive psychological transformation from Kunta (Warrior spirit) to Toby (Submission) in Haley’s novel, was skillfully used by the author to elaborate a poignant and introspective fictional narrative that delves deep into the psychological recesses of the narrator’s passionate quest for redeeming answers and retribution. Perhaps, the idea of retribution or, at least, re-establishing the truth, has the outcome of vindicating the un-human, age-long mistreatment slaves suffered at the hands of slave industry perpetrators and white supremacy. In the parallel world of the author’s imagination, historical flashbacks, bringing back to life biblical figures such as Pharaoh of Egypt and Judas serving punishment for their crimes, interacting with current postmodern institutionalized programs such as public aid and food stamps designed to perpetrate bondage, oppression and keep the Black family divided, are juxtaposed. By the same token, powerful images and iconic figures, the likes of Kwame Ture, Malcolm X, Dr. King, Mohammed Ali, Marcus Garvey to name only a few, postured as crusaders against the white supremacist establishment and represented signs of Kunta on the rise. These icons had indeed transcended the Toby spirit; a brainwashing condition that afflicts most Negro Americans, and have fully assumed and championed Kunta. It is precisely the very resurrection and reconnection with this African spirit that fueled the author’s desire and determination to deepen his search for the truth as he proceeded to uncover the inconsistencies and misconceptions entrenched in his American mis-education. The protagonist’s pilgrimage to the slave house on Goree Island set the stage for the gist of the narrative and marked a turning point in the story by elevating the author to new levels of consciousness and awareness.Taal: Engels;Formaat: ePub met kopieerbeveiliging (DRM) van Adobe;Kopieerrechten: Het kopiëren van (delen van) de pagina's is niet toegestaan ;Geschikt voor: Alle e-readers te koop bij bol.com (of compatible met Adobe DRM).
