Applewhite posted:In an alternate universe where the United States were founded in Africa instead of America, Native African culture is slowly dying on scattered reservations and Americans were slaves for generations before being emancipated during the Civil War. Now it's the present day. Instead of hip hop we have an R&B/Ceremonial chanting hybrid and American African "gangstas" wear dreamcatchers instead of bling. http://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/product/In-the-United-States-of-Africa,673314.aspx The United States of Africa In a literary reversal as deadly serious as it is wickedly satiric, this novel by the acclaimed French-speaking African writer Abdourahman A. Waberi turns the fortunes of the world upside down. On this reimagined globe a stream of sorry humanity flows from the West, from the slums of America and the squalor of Europe, to escape poverty and desperation in the prosperous United States of Africa. It is in this world that an African doctor on a humanitarian mission to France adopts a child. Now a young artist, this girl, Malaïka, travels to the troubled land of her birth in hope of finding her mother—and perhaps something of her lost self. Her search, at times funny and strange, is also deeply poignant, reminding us at every moment of the turns of fate we call truth.
