Amriika is a novel of betrayal, disillusionment, and discovery set in
America during three highly charged decades in the nation's history. In
the late sixties, Ramji, a student from Dar es Salaam, East Africa,
arrives in an America far different from the one he dreamed about, one
caught up in anti-war demonstrations, revolutionary lifestyles, and
spiritual quests. As Ramji finds himself pulled by the tumultuous
currents of those troubled times, he is swept up in events whose
consequences will haunt him for years to come. Decades later in a
changed America, having recently left a marriage and a suburban
existence, an older Ramji, passionately in love, finds himself drawn
into a set of circumstances which hold terrifying reminders of the past
and its unanswered questions.
