What is it like to be the child of a man who has decided to dedicate his life to a cause? Ken Wiwa writes about his life with a father who took on the cause of his Nigerian people, Shell, and the Nigerian government. After his father is executed he searches out the children of other martyrs/heroes to compare and understand their shared experiences. This book also explores Wiwa's coming to terms with his father's choices. Reading this with Amy's celebration of Nigerian Independence Day in mind. Check out the event's details here: there's still time to add a book to your reading pile too! After his execution in 1995, the son of Ken Saro-Wiwa, wrote about his father' life and legacy. Mr Kiwa sr. was one of Nigeria's foremost writers and critics of Nigeria's military rule and brought world attention to the human rights abuses in his country. His son, now a journalist and writer in Canada, writes a memoir, biography and tribute to his famous father. Highly recommended nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
