Requests:  0 Summary:  The first time Chude-Sokei realizes that he is 'first son of the first son' of a renowned leader of the bygone African nation is in Uncle Daddy and Big Auntie's strict religious household in Jamaica, where he lives with other abandoned children. When his mother, the onetime "Jackie O of Biafra," sends for him to come live with her in Inglewood, Los Angeles. In this world, anything alien-- such as Chude-Sykes's secret obsession with science fiction and David Bowie-- is a danger. His yearning to become a Black American gets deeply, sometimes absurdly, complicated. This is his memoir of the redemptive skill of navigating not just Blackness, but Blacknesses, in his America. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 979.494 Chude-Sokei Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.494 Chude-Sokei Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.494 Chude-Sokei Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 979.494 Chude-Sokei Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
