Summary
The author traveled throughout Africa to understand how to BE an African- he had to learn to think black, feel black, act black, love black, demonstrably suspect everything and anything nonblack, and talk black- a new jargon peculiar to African nationalists; a patois designed to adulate everything black, to deprecate everything white. He was learning this condition him to feel and understand the anguish of a troubled people of an even more troubled land.
