Opis

In the historical novel, THE LUO DREAMERS' ODYSSEY: From the Sudan to American Power, a journey that started more than five centuries ago in the Sudan has ended in the White House. Along the way, a child and a troubled dreamer, Ajwang' the Dreamer (a.k.a. Ramogi) survives the knife of ire of a man robbed of his bead of wisdom. Decades later, the sons of Ajwang' must part ways with a child dead between them because of vengeance over a "bead of passion" and a "spear of power." Centuries later, an orphan must "develop wings," fly out of Colonial Kenya to Alaska, and plant his seed, a boy dreamer named Hassan Ajwang'. This boy lives to be the President of the United States of America. In the historical novel, Joseph R. Alila, the author of NOT ON MY SKIN, pens yet another drama of life, of survival against great odds, of victories as improbable as the sun rising from the west.
