A Poetic Memoir on Race, Dispossession, and Identity
Omschrijving
Please, Adopt Me, America is an enlightening conversation about oppression, disruption, and dispossession. Starting with the personal and corporate struggle for the space of freedom and survival, the author/poet weaves her akuko iho, or enlightening conversations through the fast-changing terrains entwined with the harrowing landscapes.
From personal life to corporate experiences, to the scalding landmarks of history, the author and poet breaks away from her 'foster' country, Nigeria, to merge with her people and ancestors who are a vital part of America. Proclaiming her right to reject the raging 'japa' syndrome as an all-comers affair, she reveals a veiled tapestry of dark histories and decapitating politics. She embodies the spirit of cultural renaissance and freedom, rolling on wheels of hope to a land of promise. Please, Adopt Me, America, is a touching, penetrating perspective on the deep struggles of finding one's own space in life - Of leaving home to find it!
