“I read this book years ago when I was in 9th grade in high school. It had a deep impact on my mindset and political development at the time. Now, I'm reading it again for grad school in preparation for taking a university-led field trip to Nigeria and Mali. It is an eye-opening experience to see West African society through the author's perspective and to contrast the culture with our own American society and values. A true classic and wonderfully engrossing book to read.”
