Ten Generations of Bondage: Eleven Generations of Faith
In Ten Generations of Bondage, Johari Ade has given us a Blackprint for the telling of Ourstory. From the 18th Century to the 21st we are allowed to share the power of family of African Ancestry enslaved in a white supremacist system, who manage to pass on, not only hope, but thewill to be free and self-determining. The book is a triumph of committed research, African identity and family love.In its pages Ade has demononstrated the genius of the African spirit.Marimba Ani, Author of Let the Spirit be Unbroken and Yurugu: An Afrikan-Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior.Driven by the desire to capture the historical relevance of the family background, Johari Ade projects onto the reader a dazzling array of life value lessons which each generations taught the next.Dennis L Green, Professor of African American Studies, University of Colorado, Denver
