- Summary:
- This book could be considered a journal describing how an "American white guy" from New Jersey came to become so involved in Africa--and how he came to be recognized as the spokesman of sorts for the all but unknown literature of Eritrea. The story is neither a study of postcolonial Africa nor a travelogue highlighting exotic travel destinations. Instead, Cantalupo (English, comparative literature, African studies, Penn State U.) tells a story of poets and poetry in the African tradition.
