In its November’s issue, London Based International publisher and left wing Magazine, The New Internationalist, will be publishing a review of the Political Memoir titled ‘The Pride of an African Migrant’ by Cameroonian author, Massocki Ma Massocki.
Here bellow is an excerpt of the book review that will appear.
‘The Pride of an African Migrant defies easy categorization. It is a vivid personal memoir and political-philosophical meditation on one of the most pressing issues of our age. It is a raw, first-hand condemnation of the UK’s racist ‘hostile environment’ policies that mock any notion of human rights, but also a heartfelt plea to fellow Africans to rethink their colonialism-shaped perceptions of their own continent in relation to Europe. The ‘Pride of an African Migrant’ is at once poignant, ironic, longed for and real……. This book is rough around the edges in editorial production terms, but its messages are profound, thoughtful and sincere. It starts with chapters on colonization and neocolonialism-absolutely the right place to begin. Whoever you are, I urge you to read it.’’ (The New Internationalist)
