Kinship by Philippe Wamba

Philippe Wamba’s book is a must read for all those interested in humanity. Philippe records history that has been ignored in an engaging and interesting story telling style. The book is ahead of its time. The author digs deep into untold stories to examine the cause of division among people, from a global prospective.

Philippe’s rich observation is enhanced by his knowledge of history and a humble way of looking at his personal experiences across continents. In addition, he engages readers with an exemplary family and a coming of age stories. The writer parallels his family tale with world history and current events. In the process, he neatly packages information that is hard to find. The book will make you laugh with pleasant tales and cry with cruel stories.

It is a shame how we humans continue to ignore ideas that unite and enlighten us in favor of the old dividing stories, as we kept losing forward thinking leaders before their time - such as Philippe Wamba. The book shows us what type of history we create when we function in this world based on suspicion and ignorance.
