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 copilariei in Nigeria coloniala si al locuirii in ,,calea de mijloc" a acesteia, interogand atat amintirile fericite ale autorului despre citirea unor povesti de aventura in limba engleza in liceu, cat si adevarurile mai dure ale stapanirii coloniale.
