"Peera, who had to flee from his native East Africa after Idi Amin expelled its Asian population, does not easily intimidate and is extremely determined to fight property abuse in Alabama."

I wonder why he didn't stay and fight the injustices of Ida Amin?

Of all the places in the world he could have gone, he winds up in Montgomery, Alabama?
