O knihe
CRYING FOR FREEDOM: An
African Across Europe to America is about Oheneba whose desire to
escape his rough and surly native land plays a dominant role in his journey to
Europe. Oheneba discovers Europe is not the land of "milk and honey" he had
dreamt. He turns to religion for a meaning in life but discovers that "to live
so that there is no longer any sense in living now becomes the 'sense'
of life".
Oheneba marries Monica, a
Caucasian, despite all the glaring red flags of incompatibility and her
neuro-psychic problems. Oheneba realizes he is going for a crazy ride on a
tigress. He contemplates ducking out but breaking away from Monica through a
divorce is like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon. Oheneba contemplates
taking his own life or murdering Monica.
Despite humiliating experiences
at the hands of white people, Oheneba confesses that perhaps his life
objectifies the truth that white America, for all its evil deeds, is innocent
and maybe paradoxically holy.
However, Oheneba decides to
accept himself first as a black man because he comes to believe that if he
tries to be what he is not, there is always someone out there who is ready,
willing, and able to punch him back to his proper place as a black man.
