Produktinformationen zu „If Not This Dream (ePub)“
If Not This Dream is an 1134-page fast-paced novel presented in three books. The night before Zaki, his family, Safiyah Hadejia, and Thomas depart for Nigeria, Africa, to search for Mdawwri, Biggs shows him where his family has buried sixteen giant black-iron cauldrons full of gold coins, now worth billions. When the group arrives at Lagos, Nigeria, they board a Sikorsky S-92, a five-blade helicopter, and fly northeast. When they land at Hadejia, Ahmadu Hadejia, Safiyahs father, and his men surround the machine, all pointing assault rifles at it. The group exits the helicopter, all inspected by Ahmadu. After taking the group into his modern home, Ahmadu gives permission for his daughter to accompany them to the village of the circle, charging Zakis mother with her safety. Three weeks later, the group returns, this time Safiyah asking her father if she can return to America with the family. When he learns that his daughter has lost her virginity to Zaki, an infidel, he goes into a rage, threatening to behead his daughter and Zaki. Safiyahs mother pleads for mercy from her husband. He finally bans Safiyah from his home under curse, never to see her again. They escape in their chartered Sikorsky S-92, a five-blade helicopter.
The young pureblooded American Hausa fulfills his ancestors dream and embarks on his own dream, building a self-sustaining all-black private school and town outside Charleston, South Carolina. Tragedy propels Zaki into national spotlight. Interviews on Larry King Live, the Oprah Winfrey Show, and an overnight stay in the Obama White House on the fourth of July facilitate the acceleration of phase two of his dream. Phase three of the dream is for all African American people to return to their roots to rebuild their culture in the original Dixie states of America. Phase three will shake Americas foundation.

Autoren-Porträt von Larry D. Clark
Larry D. Clark began writing If Not This Dream by hand in 1967, filling several spiral notebooks with notes and the story. He worked on it, off and on, throughout his forty-six-year teaching career, motivated by his belief that African Americans, especially the former slaves, have been trapped in the wilderness since the Emancipation Proclamation. He believes the vast majority of blacks in America are still looking for the Promised Land. He believes big-city ghettos and Indian reservations serve the same purpose-to keep the inhabitants irrelevant and separated from the dominant society. He believes both races were never meant to be fully included in American mainstream society. In his book you will find information about President Abraham Lincoln that you will never find in your local high school library. He spent many thousands of hours researching black history and slavery to write this book. His controversial book will entertain you and hopefully encourage you to seriously consider why nonviolent, radical measures must be taken by black people to truly emancipate themselves and revive their beautiful souls and culture. If they don't, it will never happen.
