MANJANI by Freedom Speaks Diaspora Available April 21, 2008
Manjani Jackson is a mouthy, New York, teenager, who believes her life's purpose is to lead her "deaf, dumb, and blind" people into "The Revolution," even though her mother opposes it. Adopting a Black Nationalist ideology, she idolizes her mysterious musician father, Lee, and his freedom fighter friend, Bruce, whom together she calls "Bruce Lee."
On the worst day of her life, tragedy strikes, forcing Manjani to attend an all white school. Although she is working on being humble and getting along, the racist students make it impossible. Before long, the administration crosses the line, forcing her to organize a protest. The event gets out of hand, sending Manjani on the run. Her journey leads her to a place where bittersweet lessons about liberation are learned as she becomes a target of “The Revolution.” Now she must defeat the enemy she's always loved in order to survive.
This is the coming of age story of millions of women of Generation X and Y, who live and die for Black Power.
Just stop N by 2 visit some of my favorite ladies N the world. I wish U all LOVE,PEACE & BLESSINGS N the Nu Year. I LOVE U ALL 4REAL... Kire a.k.a. Tha
