Opis

Goodbye Uncle Bengy, Hello Uncle Sam is the story of a gifted young businessman from Jamaica who comes to America in search of education and financial success. Instead he finds economic struggle and a more complex society than he imagined. Born to a large, evangelical family in rural Jamaica, he must learn how to excel in his new home with an unexpected new identity: as a minority in a racially sensitive country. More than ever, there are tensions with his childhood religious convictions as he looks inward for strength from his past and the will to overcome setbacks and relationship heartbreaks. His journey is about what it means to be a citizen, in all its political and emotional turmoil.
