Very interesting and eye-opening collection of stories from the African diaspora. As a white man, I'll be the first to admit that I'm woefully under-exposed to these kinds of stories and authors, and this has really opened my eyes to the fact that I need to move my to-read list to include more than just American and Western European influences.
