He played by the rules, a dedicated student studying criminal justice. Hoping to change the system from the inside, he gained a greater understanding of both sides of the law. America is where Clifford reunited with the love of his life under surprising circumstances and raised a special family.\u003cbr\u003eA friend to other Africans and both \u003cem\u003eblack and white Americans\u003c\/em\u003e, he gained a reputation as a probation officer whose training and background helped to connect the dots in difficult cases. Still, as a black officer, he got praise while others got the promotions. And after he leaves the probation department to become an entrepreneur, the dream is attacked: Clifford is indicted on multiple accounts of fraud and conspiracy.\u003cbr\u003eHis confidence in justice is quickly shaken when it becomes apparent that the true conspiracy lies behind his arrest and prosecution-an attempt to punish a black man for doing well.\u003cbr\u003eIn a system where \u003cem\u003eAfrican Americans\u003c\/em\u003e are disproportionately represented, where cursory and inaccurate processes can lead to undervalued lives ruined by wrongful conviction, he prepares to fight every step of the way for what he knows is right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Nigerian American Family and the U.S. Justice System\u003c\/strong\u003e is the searing true story of American racism from an African perspective, an insider's look at how so-called justice can betray its own, and a story of \u003cem\u003ehope, love, and survival\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clifford Ubani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1733903836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733903837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Uba Holdings, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.23d","brand":"Clifford Ubani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445632446719,"sku":"9781733903837","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72248090-7d88-4f62-8240-6b71360dcb15.jpg?v=1777219730","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-nigerian-american-family-and-clifford-ubani-9781733903837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
