N2  - "Philippe Wamba's parents were born and raised at opposite ends of the earth. When his African American mother married his Congolese father in 1964, the family they would raise in Boston, Massachusetts, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, would become a test case of the pan-African ideal that black people around the world share common interests, common goals, and a common destiny."--BOOK JACKET; "In this deeply felt, bridge-building book, Wamba uses his personal background as a lens through which to view three centuries of shared history between Africans and African Americans."--BOOK JACKET; "Equally at home discussing King Leopold and Martin Luther King, Marcus Garvey and Michael Jackson, Wamba examines the complexity of relationships within the international black community and tackles misperceptions on both sides of the ocean. He locates and argues for the instinctive kinship that exists between Africans and African Americans, which is a powerful force for freedom through-out the world."--BOOK JACKET
