Synopsis "O'Bruni: An African-American Odyssey Home? (in English)"
O'Bruni: An African-American Odyssey Home? is an ethnographic study that follows an African-American to Africa, his 'ancestral homeland'. This study follows Dr. James Thomas Jones III as he travels throughout Ghana in pursuit of answers regarding his place of origin, a place that most people would refer to as home. Dr. Jones soon discovers that connecting with his 'ancestral homeland' is more problematic and convoluted than he could have ever imagined as he finds that his Ghanaian kinsmen possess a plethora of diverse and divergent thoughts regarding African-Americans and their desperate attempts to reconnect with the 'motherland' of Africa. This story ultimately leads to an investigation of identity, racial constructs, nationalism, and 'home'. What Dr. Jones ultimately learns is that there are no easy answers to be found on the continent of Africa and maybe, it is not Africa and her inhabitants who need to have their souls healed.
