Book excerpt: This Book is based on 100 % true story Preface "At times when I recall your life from the past, pleasure comes rushing through my neural systems mainly because having been grown up in remote rural villages of Moletjie area, I know that one might loose hope of reaching the stars." That was my buddy trying to sum up my life with few words. Poverty couldn't be the wall to boundary my potentiality, but I have built the foundation of my victory based on history. Along the thorny road to reaching my dreams, lots of salty tears escaped my ocular boundaries and I have tasted about few milliliters of them. This includes the time when the Bantu Education teachers sjamboked me to the level where I could not sit nor walk. I dropped schooling for sometimes. The life of a poor village boy was nothing but anything parallel or below zero. Indeed my history has determined my destiny. Today I'm a Fulbright Scholar. My stomach has taken many forms during my metamorphosis stage of growth and development. From a ballooned stiff stomach - airbag like, caused by malnutrition and poverty at young age to an elastic fresh healthy one as a result of feeding from balanced diets and high nutritive value of daily intakes. The colonizers - the Afrikaners, European gangsters and the ruthless Botha's of my country (South Africa) has planted crops on the soil of my motherland without giving it proper fertility. He harvested and emigrated with a bag full of wealth. Today the soil of our land, dry as it is, cannot even serve a mere seed of corn to germinate. Is as barren as Hannah, the wife of Elkanah in the Old testament of the Bible, but she later gave birth to a Prophet-Samuel. My motherland shall recuperate, and yesterday will never see the present day. I consider myself as a powerful seed, the seed of power that germinated and survived the apartheid of South Africa, Corporal punishment of Bantu education system, lightning's and thunderstorms of the cold blooded witches of the village while dwelling in a clay hut and shack, all this with almost empty stomach and a condition vulnerable to diseases and poor health service. My smiles hide my feelings and portray my feelings, because I'm a survivor of a village hatred bestowed upon underprivileged family. I'm thankful to the saccharine expressions that my parents taught me to utter to every human being including the extraterrestrials and strangers. Bantu education system of South Africa was not meant to be an education but the Afrikaner's strategy of keeping black man's kids away from streets, away from committing crime and stealing the harvest of his field. I've grown up walking barefooted in the village streets and the wild jungle of the village looking after my grandma's goats, for that was the only wealth the family possessed. Enjoy reading my road; I shall fall and suffer no more. For I was raised by the experienced. I was typing while listening to my memory speaks the past, I smiled, I cried, I laughed and above all, I prayed. Thanks GOD. A Fulbright Fellow I became. Blessed is the man who trusts in God.

This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A teenage American boy was dropped in one African village. In an extended stay-in there, He got the facts and fiction on spirit creatures and witchcraft in Africa; chilling incidents and accounts! An African village environment and nature are aspects he found would surely confound any American or city bred teenager. He found himself on the watch-out; amazed, baffled, scared....He saw some things and heard of others in the African village environment unknown to science. He experienced firsthand the traditional extended family culture of Africa, African village environment today, traditional food, and hunting and fishing, traditional prosecution and attendant drama, native justice..., He listened to stories of long past European atrocities and plundering in Africa. From a septuagenarian story-teller, he heard accounts of why Africa is rife in crisis or volatile today. Who dropped and left him in Africa? Andre was stubborn and troublesome both at home and at school. His high school teachers' reports on him were getting worse. What would the parents do to prevent him from becoming a gangster and maybe save his life? His white father and a mum of African root decided to send him to his mum's root village in the River Niger Delta in Africa - to be tamed; many teenagers are sent like that to African villages from the cities and western world for the same reason. Here is an adventure-like experience of one. The book is an engrossing narrative of what he saw, heard, witnessed and experienced in the African village; an exciting adventure narrative. He was tamed. What tamed him before he returned to the U.S.? It is an engrossing narrative that will keep you turning pages to the very end. It is a picture of what a city bred or any one from the western world may see on ground in an African village today.

Book excerpt: Few have heard of Oterkpolu, Ghana, but for John Acquaye-Awah, MD, CCD, it was home. He was born in the tiny village and grew up immersed in its traditions and superstitions. There were very few health care choices available, and Acquaye-Awah recounts how frequently death shook the small community. Then tragedy touched his own family. Acquaye-Awah's brother was stricken with polio, and many believed he would never walk again. His family consulted a spiritualist, but nothing happened. Only when Acquaye-Awah's brother was finally admitted to a hospital did he get the help he needed. Acquaye-Awah witnessed the unforgettable joy on his brother's face when he took his first step-and he knew he wanted to help others feel that same joy. This was one of many instances that sparked Acquaye-Awah's fascination with science. In this spellbinding memoir, he tells the amazing story of how he left Oterkpolu and pursued a rigorous medical education. But even as he was traveling and studying, Acquaye-Awah never forgot the important lessons he learned in Oterkpolu-nor the debt he owed his community. The American Doctor chronicles his triumphant homecoming and his new mission to bring health care to the most remote of locations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Awarded RECOMMENDED status by US Review of Books * Awarded FIVE STARS by Readers Favorite Reviews Imagine yourself having one foot planted on one continent while the other foot is on another continent. A huge transformational step, isnt it? Thats precisely what Inno Onwuemes early-life story does. One foot is planted firmly in the traditional African village where age-old customs mingle with poverty, disease, ignorance, and deprivation. The other foot pivots tantalizingly in 1960s California, at the cutting edge of western civilization. Here, searing social and political upheavals of global significance were shaking the very foundations of modern America and the world. Add to the mix, a second dimension where your journey starts with a decade of colonial rule, and extends through the first decade of post-colonial independence, straddling both eras. And did we mention a civil war, and his becoming a refugee? It was a time of great fomentation personally, nationally and globally. Read this engaging story and enjoy it as a thrilling novel, richly spiced with African proverbs. Then pinch yourself and recall that this is not fiction. It all truly happened. This was a real life being lived in exciting times. Challenge yourself to explore how the changes of the political transition intertwined with Professor Innos transformation from an African village boy to a cosmopolitan man in America. Marvel at how the history of an era was acted out in microcosm by this village boy. LIKE A LILY AMONG THORNS takes global and national metamorphosis down to the personal level. It invites you to see history in a new light.

Book Synopsis Nine Hills to Nambonkaha by : Sarah Erdman
Download or read book Nine Hills to Nambonkaha written by Sarah Erdman and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A portrait of a resilient African village, ruled until recently by magic and tradition, now facing modern problems and responding, often triumphantly, to change When Sarah Erdman, a Peace Corps volunteer, arrived in Nambonkaha, she became the first Caucasian to venture there since the French colonialists. But even though she was thousands of miles away from the United States, completely on her own in this tiny village in the West African nation of Côte d'Ivoire, she did not feel like a stranger for long. As her vivid narrative unfolds, Erdman draws us into the changing world of the village that became her home. Here is a place where electricity is expected but never arrives, where sorcerers still conjure magic, where the tok-tok sound of women grinding corn with pestles rings out in the mornings like church bells. Rare rains provoke bathing in the streets and the most coveted fashion trend is fabric with illustrations of Western cell phones. Yet Nambonkaha is also a place where AIDS threatens and poverty is constant, where women suffer the indignities of patriarchal customs, where children work like adults while still managing to dream. Lyrical and topical, Erdman's beautiful debut captures the astonishing spirit of an unforgettable community.
