"The Paradox Principles"

by Ahjamu Umi

Not long after she is publicly accepted as the first white member in a revolutionary Black organization in Ghana, Boahinmaa’s black husband is the target of a brutal attack. The organization believes the attack was retaliation for its role in thwarting white supremacist assaults against an inner-city community within the U.S., but some elements within the organization blame Boahinmaa’s presence as a white woman for the attack against her husband. This dissident group builds a campaign demanding Boahinmaa’s ouster. As internal dissent and distrust grows, forces supportive of Boahinmaa’s presence develop enough evidence exposing what they believe happened. When Boahinmaa and her trusted colleagues begin making public accusations about the attack, a terrifying reign of terror is unleased against them that reaches far beyond what any neo-Nazi group could be capable of.
