Dr. Emeka Geoffrey Olisa recounts a life lived against the contrasting backdrops of Africa, Europe and America. Between Three Worlds opens with a brief historical overview of Ossomala?s royal heritage?while ?some part of my family history has remained in oral form for more than 400 years,? as Dr. Olisa notes, no written history has existed in a comprehensive form until now.His own story begins with his birth during the period of Indirect Rule of Nigeria by Britain. Following an African childhood full of adventures and encounters with interesting people, Dr. Olisa travelled to the United Kingdom as a young man determined to study medicine. This proved to be a choice initially fraught with difficulties, including cultural barriers, for him to overcome. Dr. Olisa documents his experiences in Great Britain and at Rockwell College in Ireland, along with academic progress at such prominent universities as Gottingen and Hamburg, in Germany, and at Cambridge, England.During the 1970s, Dr. Olisa worked as a medical officer and pathologist before becoming a professor in the United States. Eventually he returned to his native Nigeria, achieving influence as a Foundation Professor at the University of Jos, and Head of Pathology at the University of Benin.Between Three Worlds provides a remarkable examination of the similarities and differences between African, European and American culture, and will be of interest to the ?average? reader as much as to students of African history. This richly illustrated record is written in honour of Dr. Olisa?s father, His Royal Highness Nzedegwu II of Ossomala, who left this world and joined his ancestors not long before this book was sent to press.
