"Community of Strangers"

| No Comments
IMG_2046.JPGI am currently reading "Community of Strangers, A Journal of Discovery in Uganda"
by A.F. Robertson, thanks to Michael Kevane's recommendation.  I am only a couple chapters in, but am thoroughly enjoying Robertson's day-to-day account as a young anthropologist during his first experience of field work and a newcomer in two newly-settled villages in Uganda. 

Next on my list of things to read is the latest collection of essays by Chinua Achebe in the book, "The Education of a British Protected Child."  Chris Blattman highlighted some of his favorite selections from the collection on his blog here.
