The Education of a British-Protected Child

Gives us a portrait of growing up in colonial Nigeria and inhabiting its 'middle ground', interrogating both the author's happy memories of reading English adventure stories in secondary school and also the harsher truths of colonial rule.

Ne ofera un portret al cresterii in Nigeria coloniala si al locuirii sale ,,termului de mijloc", interogand atat amintirile fericite ale autorului de a citi povesti de aventura in limba engleza in scoala secundara, cat si adevarurile mai dure ale dominatiei coloniale.
