CRYING FOR FREEDOM: AnAfrican Across Europe to America is about Oheneba whose desire toescape his rough and surly native land plays a dominant role in his journey toEurope. Oheneba discovers Europe is not the land of “milk and honey” he haddreamt. He turns to religion for a meaning in life but discovers that “to liveso that there is no longer any sense in living now becomes the ‘sense’of life”.Oheneba marries Monica, aCaucasian, despite all the glaring red flags of incompatibility and herneuro-psychic problems. Oheneba realizes he is going for a crazy ride on atigress. He contemplates ducking out but breaking away from Monica through adivorce is like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon. Oheneba contemplatestaking his own life or murdering Monica. Despite humiliating experiencesat the hands of white people, Oheneba confesses that perhaps his lifeobjectifies the truth that white America, for all its evil deeds, is innocentand maybe paradoxically holy. However, Oheneba decides toaccept himself first as a black man because he comes to believe that if hetries to be what he is not, there is always someone out there who is ready,willing, and able to punch him back to his proper place as a black man.
