The Open Road is a sojourner's tale. Each day, an immigrant lands on America's shores in search of opportunity. For Africans, coming to America has largely in the past been in search of education followed by a return to the homeland. While on the surface, The Open Road is the author's experience and firsthand observations, it unfolds complex relationships that face immigrants of African origin as they struggle to get a slice of the American dream. It presents a close look at race, apathy and indifference toward an African immigrant, whose adjustment sometimes-alien environment is determined by the effects of the colonial culture. To cope, the author develops the ability to glide like a swan between white and black races without being a victim or captive of race. It is a quest that all might not achieve; but one that, despite all the bruises, is worth fighting for.
