Diese einzigartige Familiensaga der schwarzen Amerikaner - die Geschichte von Kunta Kinte, der als Sklave aus Afrika verschleppt wurde, und den sechs nachfolgenden afro-amerikanischen Generationen - ging als Buch und Fernsehfilm um die ganze Welt. Doch "Roots" (Wurzeln) - das ist inzwischen mehr als ein Bestseller. Der Roman wurde zum Inbegriff eines Mythos. "Seit "Onkel Toms Hütte" hat kein Buch über die Sklaverei in Amerika solches Aufsehen erregt und so viele Diskussionen ausgelöst wie "Roots"." (Münchner Merkur) Begonnen hatte alles mit den Geschichten, die Großmutter Cynthia dem kleinen Alex Haley in Henning, Tennessee, erzählte, von ihren Großeltern und deren Großeltern - und noch weiter zurück bis hin zu jenem Mann am Anfang der amerikanischen Überlieferung, den man in der Familie nur den "Afrikaner" nannte. Von jenseits des Ozeans stamme er her, aus einem afrikanischen Dorf unweit eines Flusses namens "Kamby Bolongo", und als er eines Tages auf der Suche gewesen sei nach einem geeigneten Stück Holz für seine Trommel, da hätten ihn vier Männer überfallen, in Ketten gelegt und auf ein für die amerikanischen Kolonien bestimmtes Sklavenschiff verschleppt. Diese Erzählungen haben Alex Haley nie losgelassen, und viele Jahre später, nun schon ein renommierter Schriftsteller, begann er, der Sache mit dem Urvater nachzugehen in einer mühsamen und zeitraubenden Suche nach Beweisen für die Erzählungen seiner Großmutter. Nach zwölf Jahren endlich und vielen Reisen in das Gebiet am Gambia-Fluß gelang es ihm, den "Afrikaner" - Kunta Kinte - zu identifizieren und den Ursprung seiner Familie zu finden. Juffure heißt das Dorf im westafrikanischen Gambia, aus dem im Jahre 1767 der siebzehnjährige Kunta auf der "Lord Ligonier" nach Maryland verschleppt und dort an einen Plantagenbesitzer aus Virginia verkauft worden war. Indem Alex Haley als erster schwarzer amerikanischer Schriftsteller seine Abstammung bis zu den Wurzeln zurückverfolgt, erzählt er zugleich den 25 Millionen schwarzer Amerikaner die Geschichte ihrer Herkunft. Ihnen gibt er mit seinem Buch ihre Identität wieder, und uns allen schlägt er eines der düstersten und dramatischsten Kapitel der Menschheitsgeschichte auf.

Arkhaon Vseizbrannyj dvizhetsja k Middenkhejmu, i esli on zakhvatit gorod, to poluchit kljuch k okonchatelnoj pobede Temnykh Bogov. Poslednie geroi ljudej, elfov i gnomov sobirajutsja, chtoby ostanovit Arkhaona, no, chtoby protivostojat ordam Gubitelnykh Sil, oni dolzhny obratitsja k esche bolee temnym sojuznikam. Vopreki vsem dovodom razuma poslednej nadezhdoj mira mozhet stat Bessmertnyj Tsar, sam Nagash - esli on i smertnye sumejut prijti k soglasiju radi obschego dela. Esli zhe net - plan Arkhaona osuschestvitsja, i Khaos poglotit mir.
African American Poetry - Photos courtesy of author - "Three Buddies" illustration by Alan Haley Do You Know Me? When did it begin, This fame fixation Where all we want Is to be wanted By those we know And don't know - the same. When did we switch From mind your business To mining our personal business For notoriety and richesWithout any hint of shame? When did being a Kardasian Become our 15 minute aim? "Do You Know Me?" is a thought-provoking poem that reflects on the modern obsession with fame and notoriety. It questions when and how society transitioned from valuing privacy and minding one's own business to actively seeking attention and recognition, often through the sharing of personal information and experiences.

An Anthology of Poems From a Neurodivergent Nonbinary Mind
""Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a curious beast. It's not very well known and is incredibly rare and difficult to treat. A person in one of my support groups once asked everyone, """"What was your trigger? How did CRPS become a part of your daily struggle? """" Answers varied from an injured limb to various surgeries, and even after a tattoo in one case. Some arose as a result of simple accidents around the home. My triggering event happened due to the most mundane of everyday activities. I opened a door at work. As I pulled the handle towards myself, a heavy gust of wind blew it almost shut. The shock of the slam that would have happened if I had not been grasping the handle went through my wrist - and tore the delicate cartilage around the joints that provided balance to my hand. The official injury title that was bestowed upon me was a triangular fibro cartilage complex tear in two places. The pain I experienced was immediately disproportionate to the injury itself. The only silver lining at the time was that my injury occurred at work - making me eligible for worker's compensation. Mercifully so, the universe decided to provide a small quantum of solace in the form of continued financial support from my wages, and my medical expenses were covered completely. Because of this small miracle, I have access to the best medical care money can buy - for now. Eventually, I would be on my own, as the money available ran out. Until then, I had more support than most, for which I am incredibly thankful. Truth be told, it's nearly impossible to know exactly why myself and my fellow sufferers contracted CRPS. The triggers can be a result of almost anything - even an innocent paper cut. Because there's no smoking gun, and many physical symptoms don't show until the condition has well and truly taken hold, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is incredibly difficult to diagnose. I was lucky. My symptoms were severe enough in the initial stages that my medical team was able to quickly identify the cause of my pain. Because of its early detection, I am in the best possible position to respond well to treatment. Many people are not so fortunate. Advanced cases of CRPS can lead to permanent disfigurement of affected limbs, muscular atrophy, loss of bone density, and even organ failure. The condition has the potential to spread to seemingly unrelated areas of the body (the opposite limb in my case - both arms are now affected from shoulder to fingertips) with the potential to go full body from the slightest future mishap or surgery. We are cotton wool people. We are forced to live in a bubble of our own design, for self-preservation. This is not a tale of woe, or even of caution. The odds of what happened to me and my fellow sufferers happening to someone else are astronomical. I'm simply trying to raise awareness for a very rare condition. On the McGill Pain Scale we sit right at the top with a score of 42, above amputation, unplanned childbirth, and phantom limb pain, and until advanced enough to offer little hope for remission - our pain is completely invisible.""
