A poor boy of diverse heritage from the hills of rural Jamaica embarks on a journey through university in America, marriage, professional training in Italy and subsequent assignment as a manufacturing executive with a multi-national Fortune 500 American Corporation. He lives and works in the Caribbean, North America and Africa and accepts American citizenship without losing his Jamaican identity or compromising his commitment to his adopted country. He survives the murder of his father in a Jamaica on its way to becoming the murder capital of the world, confronts endemic bias in corporate America, witnesses a coup and endures cultural isolation and work permit woes in Kenya. He works through the early years of dramatic social and economic dislocation in Zimbabwe. Jamaican by Birth American by Choice explores interpersonal, institutional, and political relationships across the Caribbean, North America and Africa and examines the resurgence of brazen bigotry in post Obama America.
