- Summary:
- In 1996, Manthia Diawara, a distinguished professor of film and literature in New York City, returned to his homeland of Guinea, 32 years after he and his family were expelled from the newly liberated country. The Africa that Diawara found was not one on the verge of barbarism, as described in the Western press; neither was it the Africa of his childhood. In this book, Diawara reveals his experiences in this new-found land. 19 illustrations. Map.
