About
"Uhuru é uma história contada em dois tempos: Por um lado conhecemos Uhuru, um garoto da periferia, que enfrenta problemas na escola com um grupo de colegas que o perturba. De outro lado, exploramos a história de Muzamba, seu tataravó, desde o momento em que caçava com o pai nas savanas africanas, passando por sua captura e venda como escravo para um coronel do Brasil colonial, até o momento em que reconquista seu amor-próprio e sua liberdade"--Front flap.
This is the story told in two times: that of Uhuru, a boy whose unusual name provokes classmates to pick on him; and that of Muzamba, his great-grandfather, from his childhood hunting with his father in the African savannas, through his capture and sale into slavery to a colonel in colonial Brazil, to his regaining of freedom.
