SynopsisA bold and beautiful compilation of short stories, unsent letters, and confessions, Sand Nigga is Bula Barua's much-anticipated first published work. Bula's heartfelt writing is captivating, humorous, frank, subtle, and courageous. The book's title story is a sharply poignant tale, which addresses imposed racism by older generations upon their unwilling and younger counterparts. 'Dear Auntie X - You can choose to be racist against Africans and Muslims, if you'd like. That is your prerogative. I still love you. However, when I was 15 years old and I received that racist note wedged in my locker, I chose to take my focus off the color of a man's skin, and instead focus on the content of his character. I chose to believe in the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. and live by the great words of our own Mahatma Gandhi.' Bula's finely tuned ear for combining irony and humor with compassion is very telling. With each story, she creates believable and honest experiences in ordinary situations, which become extraordinary. The range of her talent and imagination is broad and yet focused. She has the unique ability to artistically create the worlds of the immigrant and the native, the man and the woman, the priest and the sermon, and the trillion-dollar corporations who seemingly rule the world. Sand Nigga is an art piece, which symbolizes the loves, losses, and many triumphs of the human spirit.
