A New York jazz musician discovers he has a half-brother—a king in Kenya—and embarks on a journey to Africa that turns into a spiritual odyssey. When a copper deposit is discovered on the land of the Makenda tribe in eastern Kenya, a young king, Ule Samanga, is told to relocate his people to a refugee camp in Nairobi or risk imprisonment. When all appears lost, the young king discovers the existence of Curtis Jackson, a mysterious half brother presently living in New York. Believing this unexpected news to be an omen from the spirit of his ancestors, he eagerly seeks Curtis’s help to save their sacred tribal homeland. A struggling mortgage broker and former jazz prodigy, Curtis initially has no interest in developing a relationship with his newly found African family. But when he’s presented with an intriguing business offer, he embarks on a journey to Africa that becomes a spiritual odyssey, changing him in ways he never imagined. In this assured debut, Richard Crystal weaves a complex story of contemporary moral imperatives conceived during Obama’s victorious election as America’s first black president. Themes of corporate malfeasance and exploitation will resonate with readers of The Constant Gardener and Blood Diamond. But beyond the various political machinations, readers will find a heartwarming story infused with the strains of Coltrane, the history of jazz, and the enduring power of family.

When a potentially lucrative copper deposit is discovered by an American mining company on the farmland of the Makenda tribe in eastern Kenya, the local government seizes the opportunity to secure a new source of revenue. The young Makenda King, Ule Samanga, is told to relocate his people to a refugee camp in Nairobi. He angrily refuses. Faced with devastating the future of his rural tribe, he calls on the spirits of his ancestors to help him protect their sacred homeland. When he discovers a letter, written fifteen years earlier, revealing he has a half-brother in New York, the young king takes it as an omen and engages a young African woman at the Ministry of Culture in Nairobi to help him locate his brother in New York. Curtis Jackson is a struggling mortgage broker and former jazz prodigy, trying to keep his business afloat during the financial crisis of 2008. At first he has no interest in developing a relationship with his newly discovered African family. When an ambitious executive from the mining company offers him a substantial sum of money to appease the Makenda tribe, he changes his mind. ADVANCE READER COPY EDITION With less than altruistic motives, Curtis' journey to Africa becomes a spiritual odyssey and changes him in ways he never imagined. Determined to reveal the truth behind the political machinations, he joins with his brother and his father's people in the fight to keep their homeland. In this assured and compelling debut, Richard Crystal (brother of Billy) weaves a story with contemporary moral imperatives and real world parallels, incorporating the dichotomy between modern American business and a thriving rural African culture, the election of President Obama and its impact in Africa, the history of jazz music in America and the enormous power of family.

Judicial review--the power of the United States Supreme Court to nullify unconstitutional laws--has been attacked and celebrated. The Court's authority has become even more significant over the past century as it has grown to occupy a more central role in the lives of Americans. The result has been for politicians of both major political parties (as well as scholars) to decry the antidemocratic nature of the judicial power. This book argues that judicial review ensures the survival of the republic, outlining the Court's responsibilities as an instrument of rights theory and its history of defending the principles established during the American founding that assert the primacy of certain inherent rights. Centering on the power of judicial review, chapters detail the Court's reputation as a steward of the Constitution, protecting the rights of the people against the encroachments of the executive and legislative branches--and against the fleeting passions of the people.
