Nothing in Keith Richburg's long and respected journalistic career at the Washington Post prepared him for what he would encounter as the paper's correspondent in Africa. He found a continent where brutal murder had become routine, where dictators and warlords silenced dissent with machine guns and machetes, and where starvation had become depressingly common. With a great deal of personal anguish, Richburg faced a difficult question: If this is Africa, what does it mean to be an African American? In this provocative and unvarnished account of his three years on the continent of his ancestors, Richburg takes us on a extraordinary journey that sweeps from Somalia to South Africa, showing how he confronted the divide between his African racial heritage and his American cultural identity.

This book is about the realities and some of the causes of why Africa in such economic and social turmoil then (almost 20 years ago now) and still is today. The author points out with great detail what he has observed in countless hours of travel and many scenarios. He worked for a newspaper and was assigned there for a few years. The things he describes are so much worse than almost anything that happens in the USA it is hard to imagine. And yet because he dares to tell the truth and not sugarcoat it, he is labeled by many as a sort of Uncle Tom.
