I Am Brother Oji

By Mello Ayo

Book Overview

I AM Brother Oji This is so beautifully written. I love the captivating imageries, and memories. (Sylvia Morrison) The writing is beautiful, rich, poetic, fluid and enchanting. (Shari Golberg) "I AM Brother Oji" is a masterful story ... so vividly pictured and detailed the colors are ready to drip off the pages like the splashy paintings sold street side in Jamaica's tourist towns. (Peter Lamm) Solid and intuitive ... a great history that must be told. (Anthony Weekes) Regarding the R.O.M, this story must be told and heard. It is really shocking how much resistance there was to the objections of the Black community. (Georgie Kennedy) History of revolutionary dub poetry is worth its weight in gold. (Ahmad Saidullah) This is a very refreshing approach to the story of Black-Jamaican migration and its place in Canadian history. The schemata is endearing and compelling, and the style is mesmerizing. I felt compelled to read all the way in one sitting. It is ready for a movie script. (Ewart Walters) Jamaica, the land I love. Thank you for this poetic excursion through our spiritual space & time continuum. (Paul Grant) Let there be praise and thanks for this beloved Afrikan. For he is truly "Brother Oji!"
