Keith B Richburg was an experienced and respected reporter who had paid his dues covering urban neighborhoods in Washington DC and won praise for his coverage of Southeast Asia But nothing prepared him for the personal odyssey that he would embark upon when he was assigned to cover Africa In this powerful book Richburg takes the reader on an extraordinary journey that sweeps from Somalia to Rwanda to Zaire and finally to South Africa He shows how he came to terms with the divide within himself between his African racial heritage and his American cultural identity Are these really my people Am I truly an AfricanAmerican The answer Richburg finds after much soulsearching is that no he is not an African but an American first and foremost To those who romanticize Mother Africa as a black Valhalla where blacks can walk with dignity and pride he regrets that this is not the reality He has been there and witnessed the killings the repression the false promises and the horror Thank God my nameless ancestor brought across the ocean in chains and leg irons made it out alive he concludes Thank God I am an American. brPage 1br OUT 12 OUT 34 OUT 56 OUT 7 OUT KICK SNARE OM OM HI GAN UKELELE ZITHER BANJO ELEC GTR OUST GTR OH R OH L OWBELL GAN HI VO AL BASS DIRE BASS MP SOFT S N R SOFT S N L AN G S NTH THERE http://www.snopes.com/photos/sunset.asp.
