my thoughts for this day

so, the books on my desk today include

Short History of Tibet by Richardson
The Pan-African Nation by Andrew Apter
Perspectives on Growth and Poverty - van der Hoeven
The Dragon in the Land of Snows - Tsering Shakya
The Status of Tibet - van Walt & van Praag

with respect to Nigeria and Africa in general part of my interests lay in the attempt by indigenous folk to reclaim their resources and the story of Ken Saro-Wiwa in particular

to that end there is a book by his son Ken Wiwa - In the Shadow of a Saint (2000)
[VPL 966.905 S24w]; another one for the list

till next time
