Thoroughly honest and thoughtful account of a Black American's encounter with Africa.,

This review is from: Black Power: A Record of Reactions in a land of Pathos (Hardcover)
I picked this up after seeing it referenced by the great Kapucinski in his 2007 travelogue/memoir "Travels with Herodutus. It didn't dissapoint. Wright gives a detailed account of his six months in West Africa, Ghana / "Gold Coast" circa 1953. The British still rule with an imperial hand, but the seeds of revolution are being sown. Wright meets Brits, common tribal folk, tribal chiefs, local business men, educated native elites, revolutionary leaders, etc. The book is great because Wright is thoroughly honest about his own views and bias and this gives the book a very objective feel. A very honest and revealing book.
