About this title

About the Author:

Born and educated in the Philippines, Juan C. De los Santos was College Instructor of Economics at the University of Nueva Caceres, Naga City and the University of the East, Manila. For seven years he worked as Education Officer in Sokoto (Zamfara) State, Nigeria, where he taught in the Muslim town of Kaura Namoda. His sojourning experiences provide the inspiration for his writing that transcends boundaries from his origins to the multicultural realities of New York, where he resided and excelled in Business Management for fifteen years. My Africa, A Sojourner's Memoir is his first attempt in creative non-fiction.

Synopsis:

"A first-hand account of a teacher's struggle to understand a new culture and its people. Poignant and insightful, it provides a valuable lesson in inter-cultural communication that captures all the beauty, drama, and heart of an adventure worth telling." (Things Not Said About The Book Yet) "Rawness drawn from the author's experience but spiced to appeal to the literary palate" "A moving metaphor about life in the face of global diversity" "So profound yet reachable" "Multi-dimensional view of cultures seen from inside and outside the fence"
