5.0 out of 5 stars
A vivid evocation of the history and people of Zimbawe., September 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Tonderai: Studying Abroad in Zimbabwe (Paperback)
"Tonderai" is the Shona name that was given to Perrin. Appropriately, it means "Remember." Tonderai conveys a vivid sense of Zimbabwe - the land and its indigenous people; readers feel they are literally looking over Perrin's shoulder. Embedded in the book is a concept of education as an active process of doing, of experiencing life with all the senses, and learning through interaction with others.

Wonderful cross-cultural experience, July 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Tonderai: Studying Abroad in Zimbabwe (Paperback)
A wonderful account of a young college student's experience in third world Zimbabwe. Though focusing mostly on a feminist aspect of the country, Perrin's travels are well rounded and insightful. She takes you out of your comfortable lifestyle by showing us what and how we take our lives for granted. Very motivating in you are interested in world relief.
