PDF Zanzibar: The History of the International Trade Center off the Coast of Africa by Charles River Editors in History

Description

My worries will be over if only I can get to America! This was all Kwesi Asamane dreamed about while battling frustration and turmoil in West Africa. Beating impossible odds; he arrives in America on a partial college scholarship. But every inch of progress requires exhaustive battles; and idealistic views about America are replaced by cynicism. Mentally spent and alienated; he reaches for the simple life he once knew; but going back to Africa is no picnic. Expectations are unreasonable; and traces of assimilated culture suddenly surface and make him appear foreign to his people. He returns to America tormented by not being who he was until tragedy triggers acatharsis.
