Great Read

O'Mandingo!: The Only Black at a Dinner Party
If I am to call my self an African and if I am to call myself a true African i need to understand what it means to be African. This book has shown me things about life that could never have dreamed has shown me God in a way that puts him into an African context.
It is controversial at times and Eric Miyeni really pushed me. He can be very political and very black conscious but that is the beauty of this book. It is not trying to be something its not. It is an honest portray of a mans thoughts and feelings.
If I could write this would be the style and the personality I would chose to have in a book. This is a truly South African book and well worth the read
