A Tribalist Two

Whether centuries ago in Africa or yesterday in America, racism defines the black struggle. The two young men in A Tribalist Two find their societies and cultures pulling them in many different directions. The choices they make are influenced by history, and the consequences could very well be deadly. Even before Europeans arrive on Anda Island, tensions between the tribes are already running high. Khyik struggles to find his place as the youngest son of the Kialli king. He must impress the tribe to cement his family’s power, but the opposing Domka tribe is more interested in stealing it—even when the white colonizers prove a more deadly threat. In modern times, young Cedric also faces family troubles. His brother has already been killed, but even so, Cedric can’t seem to avoid the gang’s dangerous schemes. He needs money and space, and he can’t figure out how to get out except by getting more involved. A thought-provoking look at how the past and present intersect, A Tribalist Two addresses the experience of black-on-black crime in both African and African American societies. As these two young men struggle, their futures hang in the balance.
