My Ordeal in Toronto (e-book) (used book) | Embaye Melekin | bookbook.eu

Description

This is the story of an Eritrean refugee who migrated to Toronto, Canada, with so much hope and dream and great aspirations to succeed. It is a tragic story of a black man caught up in the racist system that prevails in Canada and the various ordeals he went through in his bid to integrate and fit into the Canadian society against all the odds confronting him.

This story is a typical experience of most black men in Toronto, Canada, and the hurdles they have to cross to gain acceptance and attain meaningful progress in the country. Systemic racism is prevalent in all the facets and structures of Canadian society especially geared more against black Canadian men. Racism is subtly engrained in the workforce, the police and the justice system in Canada as adequately and appropriately narrated and depicted in this story.

The lesson gained in this book is to expose the silent sufferings of especially black men in Canada and to hopefully find remedies and lasting solutions to address the injustices black Canadians have to endure and go through. Systemic racism is a plague haunting prospective employers, the police and the court system and the entire Canadian civic and governmental structures. This book is intended to reveal, expose and ostracize the hidden evils of racism embedded in the Canadian system and in a country that prides itself as a perfectly democratic and egalitarian society.

All the names in this book are fictitious even though the story has validity. Any name semblance to anyone is purely coincidental and should be

discarded, disregarded, discounted and disowned in totality.
