Growing up in remote Cameroon, Richard Afuma could not expect to live much past the age of 40, and his chances of any sort of education were slim. But at the age of eight, Afuma found his way to a school run by Baptist missionaries. When he was ten, he saw his first white person who, from his education, he took to be Jesus Christ. He was told that the Land Rovers he saw were made by these same people-Jesuses with supernatural powers-who were uniformly called Americans. In The Python Trail, Afuma portrays the kind of journey that many immigrants have made, but few have described.

About the Author Richard Afuma is a native of Kom, a remote region of Cameroon, which in his childhood was among the most primitive places in Africa. The oldest boy in a family of eleven children, he made his way at the age of eight from a mud-walled and thatched-roof hut to a school run by Baptist missionaries, and from there on a journey through a labyrinth of corruption, prejudice, and the capricious whims of “benefactors” to southern Maine, and a life he could not possibly have imagined. A graduate of Westbrook College, now the University of New England, and of the University of Maine’s School of Public Administration, Afuma has a daughter and lives in Portland, Maine, where he works teaching life skills to men and women with cognitive disabilities.

By LSR Somehow, with great tenacity, Richard Afuma defeated obstacle after obstacle in his never-ending quest for an education and life in the US. Through Afuma’s eyes, the beauty and hardships of both his native land in Cameroon and his adopted state of Maine are revealed. Having grown up in Maine myself, it was enlightening to see my home state from the perspective of an immigrant. A truly inspiring, and at the same time, humbling, story of a journey toward a goal set deep in the soul at childhood.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Amazing ! To Dream is one thing, To Act and Endure in your Pursuit takes Courage and Commitment. By Inallouryears Richard's story spans several decades, from childhood to manhood. What I love most about him in his pursuit, is that he never yields, not once to the challenges. He does not know how to stop or quit or concede to all that he faces. He is a loving child and a caring person throughout his journey and without fail carries a smile with him in the life he has been given. If we, each of us, could pursue our dreams with the same passion and strength and vigor, as he has done, we could accomplish anything.
