African Literature Reading Circle The Lost Boys of Sudan by Mark Bixler |
Thursday, November 17 at 2:45 pm | Hill Freeman Library, Rm 213 |
|
Dr. Curtis G. Lindquist, Reinhardt associate professor of religion and philosophy, will lead the discussion. In 2000, the U. S. federal government resettled 3,800 young men by opening its doors to the Lost Boys of Sudan. Uprooted by the civil war that had ravaged Sudan, the boys were forced to wander, dodging bullets and wild animals. Jacob, Peter, Daniel, and Marko were among 150 youth who were eventually resettled in Atlanta. Bixler, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter, follows the progress of the four as they adjust to life in modern America, learning to use kitchen appliances, take public transportation, and look for work. Bixler chronicles their struggles to overcome loneliness and to come to terms with the brutality of their past, as… they realize their dreams of education and make lives for themselves. |
