Description:
<DIV><DIV><b>From the bestselling author of&#160;<i>To Sir, With Love</i>&#160;comes the moving personal memoir of a westernized black man who journeys to Africa in search of his roots and discovers a vibrant and extraordinary society on the verge of monumental change</b></div><BR>In the early 1960s acclaimed British Guianese author E. R. Braithwaite embarked on a pilgrimage to the West African countries of Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, and across Sierra Leone just as the emerging nation was preparing to declare its independence. What Braithwaite discovered was a world vastly different from the staid, firmly established British society in which he had spent most of his life. In a place as foreign to him as the dark side of the moon, he was overcome by colorful sights, sounds, and smells that vividly reawakened lost memories from his childhood. Entering the intimate circles of the local intelligentsia, Braithwaite was able to view these newly evolving African societies from the inside, struck by their mixtures of passion and na&iuml;vet&eacute;, their political obsessions and technological indifference. The author discovered a world that fascinated, excited, and, in some cases, deeply troubled him&mdash;and in the process he discovered himself.<DIV><BR>E. R. Braithwaite&rsquo;s&#160;<i>A Kind of Homecoming&#160;</i>is at once an enthralling personal journey and an eye-opening chronicle of a time of great change on the African continent that helps us to better understand the West Africa of today.</div><DIV></div></div>
