We Won't Budge: An African Exile in the World
Autor Manthia Diawaraen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 aug 2004
Thirty
years
after
leaving
his
native
Mali,
Manthia
Diawara
has
a
home
in
New
York
City,
and
more
than
a
few
acclaimed
publications
to
his
name.
Still,
he
cannot
shake
the
memories
of
his
birth
country-or
of
his
first
place
of
self-imposed
exile:
the
heady
streets
of
1960s
Paris.
In
this
bittersweet
memoir,
Diawara
recounts
a
year
spent
looking
at
how
the
assimilation
process
shapes
the
lives
and
dreams
of
immigrants
everywhere.
From
the
nightclubs
of
Bamako,
to
the
cafes
of
Boulevard
Montparnasse,
to
the
black
neighborhoods
of
1970s
Washington,
D.C.,
this
important
and
original
book
shatters
many
cherished
notions
about
experiencing
race
in
the
world
today.
At
turns
humorous
and
harrowing,
beautifully
written
and
shrewdly
argued,
it
offers
an
unsentimental
view
of
African
traditions
at
the
same
time
that
it
confronts
America's
most
deeply
ingrained
prejudices.
