The Heritage
Author: Sinachi Ikpabi
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1450295428
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Through his privileged travels and interactions with a wide spectrum of peoples in different parts of the world, Sinachi Ukpabi observed a growing interest in his rich African heritage. The Heritage is thus an attempt to satisfy this growing interest, towards promoting racial harmony. In The Heritage, Ukpabi follows in the footsteps of his Umuahian literary forbears like Chinua Achebe, Pius Okigbo, Chukwuemeka Ike, Elechi Amadi, Ken Saro-Wiwa and Obi Nwakanma. He captures the struggle of the African in the post-colonial 20th century global society, through the experience of Nnaka Alozie, a promising son of Igboland. It tells of his travails in the first 30 years of independent Nigeria with Claire, a British girl, within the complex matrix of interracial marriage, civil war, race relations and cultural heritage, sequel to his audacious quest for the white mans education. The book volume has been intentionally reduced and an attempt made to write in fast-paced but flowing language to equally appeal to the Facebook generation.

Bang: A Novel
Author: Daniel Peña
Publisher: Arte Público Press
ISBN: 1518504485
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
Uli’s first flight, a late-night joy ride with his brother, changes their lives forever when the engine stops and the boys crash land, with “Texas to the right and Mexico to the left.” Before the accident, Uli juggled his status as both an undocumented immigrant and a high school track star in Harlingen, Texas, desperately hoping to avoid being deported like his father. His mother Araceli spent her time waiting for her husband. His older brother Cuauhtémoc, a former high-school track star turned drop-out, learned to fly a crop duster, spraying pesticide over their home in the citrus grove. After the crash, Cuauhtémoc wakes up bound and gagged, wondering where he is. Uli comes to in a hospital, praying that it’s on the American side of the border. And their mother finds herself waiting for her sons as well as her missing husband. Araceli knows that she has to go back to the country she left behind in order to find her family. In Mexico, each is forced to navigate the complexities of their past and an unknown world of deprivation and violence. Ruthless drug cartels force Cuauhtémoc to fly drugs. “If a brick goes missing, Cuauhtémoc dies. If a plane goes missing, Cuauhtémoc dies. If Cuauhtémoc goes missing, they find Cuauhtémoc (wherever he’s at) and Cuauhtémoc dies.” If they can’t find him, they will kill his mother. They have photos of her in Matamoros to prove they can enforce the threat. Meanwhile, Uli returns to his family’s home in San Miguel and finds a city virtually abandoned, devastated by battles between soldiers, cartels and militias that vie for control. Vividly portraying the impact of international drug smuggling on the innocent, Peña’s debut novel also probes the loss of talented individuals and the black market machines fed with the people removed and shut out of America. Ultimately, Bang is a riveting tale about ordinary people forced to do dangerous, unimaginable things.
