Jo Ann White has put together a reflective book: a useful cross-section of various views of the Western countries from an African perspective. Her collection ranges widely from the political speeches and manifestos of then current politicians to the observations and reflections of native Africans as they initially encountered Europeans. All the items have a usefulness as a source of insight into the values, outlooks, thoughts, and ideas of various African populations at various stages of their integration into the Western world. The writings have been chosen to demonstrate both unfavorable as well as favorable views that existed, or may still exist, toward 'the West"., as well as the changes experienced by past and present generations. Dr. White's perspective is from Africa outward and she demonstrate that there remains a lot more to understand about the continent and its populations that has heretofore been significantly explored.
