Looking for Africa in America (eBook, ePUB)

The Power of Positive Change

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about an African American male frustrated as a result of difficulties he encountered growing up. He found his problem common to majority of peer members of his ethnic group compared to other ethnic peer group members' experience. Johnson attributed his failure to the stripping away of the African American culture by the slave masters. He resolved to recover the "Africa" that was missing in him. Johnson traveled to his origin in Africa and embraced originality after ritualistically dancing with his ancestors at the king's palace. His new way of thinking transformed him into a color-blind successful happy American. Johnson came back from Africa, went to Law school and graduated with honors. He married a white lady, and was elected city mayor.

Autorenporträt

My name is Ike Okwuonu, and I live in Edmond Oklahoma where I obtained my college education. I hold two Bachelor's degrees and a Master's degree in Political Science from the University of the Central Oklahoma, and a second graduate degree (MHR) in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma. I am currently working on my doctoral degree in Psychology at the University of the Rockies at Colorado. At present, I work as a Mental Health Therapist (LPC Candidate). I wrote this book as a follow up response to the question put to me one afternoon by one of my children. They were watching a movie and saw a white man cruelly castigating a young black man. The question was why the innocent black was being flogged. I told my son that the inhumanity they were watching happened during the slavery period. But despite my explanation, my son was still showing a feeling of a chilling fear and anger on his face. I wrote this book to help my son and his white and black friends learn that the power of love will always transcend the love for power.
