Jean-Marie Tailly

We Are Joseph, a riveting historic book written by Jean Louis Tailly, seeks to find a lasting solution to the ongoing crises in Africa. The book brings to life the hardships, humiliation, and expected triumphs of broken family relationships, poverty, hostility, and other horrors associated with slavery. It also explores the good that can come out of slavery.


The story of Joseph forms the backdrop of this book, highlighting Joseph's painful separation from his family, his life as a slave in a foreign land, his eventual rise to power and his reconciliation with his brothers.


It describes, with striking similarity to the African slavery experience, how Joseph represents the people who were forcefully separated from their families and brought to America and into slavery. Now as African Americans, they will reconcile with their African brothers and sisters; they will also bring them peace, stability, and prosperity, and will embrace their God-given mission of repairing the psychological, sociological, and economical damage caused by the Atlantic slave trade.
