About the book

Author Don Ohadike chronicles the struggle for peoples of African descent to overcome slavery, colonialism and neo-colonial hegemony. Tracing resistance movements from the colonial period into the 20th century through music and religion, the pursuit of freedom and the practice of resistance extend beyond the borders of Africa into popular culture in the US, the Caribbean and South Africa. Ohadike crosses a multitude of eras and locations but the theme of resistance to oppression through religion and music echoes drums of liberation into the present.
