Route to Success: An American Dream Tale

Route to Success: An American Dream Tale is an autobiography of an African child who grew up in a small village in Cote dIvoire. Unlike his own children he was born under banana trees. Before and after his birth no medical attention was ever given to his mother or to him. Despite the limited opportunities for a child during the postcolonial years his parents thought that the future of their child was to be assimilated to Western culture. Hence at six years old the child was sent to school away from his native and natural environment. This early decision of his parents enrolling him in school led him to successfully complete his education in Cote dIvoire and later in North America.
