What Is Africa To me

What Is Africa to Me traces the late 1950s to 1968 chronicling Condé’s life in Sékou Touré’s Guinea to her time in Kwame N’Krumah’s Ghana where she rubbed shoulders with Malcolm X Che Guevara Julius Nyerere and Maya Angelou. Accusations of subversive activity resulted in Condé’s deportation from Ghana. Settling down in Sénégal Condé ended her African years with close friends in Dakar including filmmakers activists and Haitian exiles before putting down more permanent roots in Paris. Front flap.
