- Summary:
- In this sequel to his previous memoir, Great Boys: An African Childhood, award-wining poet Ojade traces the path that led him to the US and describes his experiences as a Nigerian in the American South. He also interweaves the experiences of other African immigrants in the US. The color photo on the photo shows a US flag on and, oddly, a white hand with pen to paper. The author teaches African American and African studies at the University North Carolina-Charlotte. The book is distributed in the US by African Books Collective.
