| Summary |
A collection of letters from an African mother to her daughter in America, urging her to remember her roots. The mother, who is from Zimbabwe, describes the country's customs, her generation's struggle for independence, their hopes and disappointments, and the current clash between proponents of the traditionalist way and the European way. The mother bemoans that so many young Africans do not come home after their studies, but remain abroad. |
