Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

"It seems probable that no white Westerner, no African or Asian could have summoned up sufficient objectivity to write it," said LJ's reviewer (LJ 1/15/56). Here, Wright (whose novel, Savage Holiday, is listed above) describes what transpired at the Asian African Bandung Conference of 1955, deducing that religion and race are what truly separates nations.
