An fascinating 2000 mediation on Negritude and the returning immigrant's experience. Diawara discuses his experience under the reign of Sekou Tourre, leaving Guinea, his time...
The book does not avoid the self loathing and revulsion Africa's escapees into the West's middle class feel for themselves and the homelands from which they hail. Diawara does a good half embrace dance in this one. A far more successful effort than his reverse anthropology premise/documentary on Jean Rouch.
