Synopsis

Can a professional man, whose only crime is asserting his Nubian/African identity, and a refusal to be classified as 'white' be persecuted, and become the subject of harassment facing financial and mental ruin? The author of this book, Dr. Mostafa Hefny, is of Egyptian, Nubian/African origin, whose self-identity and assertion that he should not be classified as a white man in United States legal and professional papers has caused him innumerable social, mental and professional harm and suffering. Dr. Hefny came to the US in 1978 and became a U.S. citizen in 1985. As a learned and proud Nubian/African, with an affirmative self-awareness, Dr. Hefny challenged a system that immediately classified him as a white man purely because he originates from Egypt. He paid a heavy price for his self-assertion, suffering personal harassment, professional isolation, lack of legitimate promotions at work, and tremendous legal costs, not to mention mental, physical and financial stress. Here, Dr. Hefny narrates and documents in brief his harrowing experience with his employer, a service agency in Wayne, Michigan, where his refusal to be classified as a 'white man', created an unhealthy working environment and resulted in his being confined to a medical facility.
