Australia resident Ephraim Osaghae has taken the lid off several hot migration topics in his books. Migration and Family is one of his best works. Few matters in life go deep, wide, and have a lasting impact like family.

Dr. Umes ist Herzchirurg, erfolgreicher Autor, engagiertes Mitglied der deutschen Gesellschaft - und dunkelhäutig. Wie viele andere farbige Menschen erlebt er immer wieder diskriminierendes Verhalten seiner Umwelt. Mal ist es nur eine dumme Bemerkung, mal ein gravierender Verstoß gegen seine Würde als Mensch. Gleichzeitig gibt es eine Debatte darüber, was man "eigentlich noch sagen darf", ohne in die rechte Ecke gestellt zu werden. Umes klagt nicht an, sondern klärt auf. Anhand seiner Biografie beschreibt er pointiert, mit welchen Schwierigkeiten farbige Menschen zu kämpfen haben.
