Autore di An African in Greenland
Sull'Autore
Tete-Michel Kpomassie was a teenager in Togo when he discovered a book about Greenland -- and knew that he must go there. Working his way north over nearly a decade, Kpomassie finally arrived in the country of his dreams. This brilliantly observed and superbly entertaining record of his adventures mostra altro among the Inuit is a testament both to the wonderful strangeness of the human species and to the surprising sympathies that bind us all. mostra meno

Pleased to find this gem of ethnography and travel. Such an interesting and compelling mind, and above all story. But it is also interesting to step back and think about how most of our stories of culture are filtered through a European viewpoint first, and interesting to see that mind outside of the main narrative - though of course colonialism is present in both cases, and still doing its thing. Really enjoyed the reflections and interpretations and connections made.
