Drawing from the college days of his not-so-quiet student activism,
K-Moses Nagbe evokes memories of political activism in the 1970s.
His world of fiction continues to be set in the Republic of Uodama,
a fictitious West African country, which he often describes as 'the
country of a little over one million people set among its West
African neighbors like an irritating bone stuck amongst some
teeth.' In that country, several enlightened sons and daughters are
fired up. They want to see social justice. They want to see
economic equality. They want to see political fair play. Sometime
later, the reality crawls home: In politics, there are always more
forces to fight than those that meet the eye. One Saturday in
August is a drama of sorts, which pits theory against practice, the
ideal against the real, the young against the old, the best against
the worst. In the book, neither cruelty nor kindness rests with one
color or creed. Yet, Nagbe implies that an amalgam of color and
creed working together will redeem the world or make it a little
more reassuring place to live and prosper.
