Coal Boy, is a human fiction that builds on the premise: love is universal; so is racism--the same mold as Colson Whitehead, James Hannaham, and Robert Dugoni. Geocultural attributes set my story apart from their works. The United States of America stages their stories, where Black Americans and slavery have long been one of the major human rights issues intensely debated in sociopolitical arenas. My story focuses on people of mixed racial heritage: namely, Black-Japanese--the children of Black Americans and Japanese women born in Japan during the post-World War II Occupation.
