Okey Ndibe’s memoir tells of his move from Nigeria to America, where he came to edit the influential but forever teetering on the verge of insolvency African Commentary magazine, examines the differences between Nigerian and American etiquette and politics; recalls an incident of racial profiling just 13 days after he arrived in the US, in which he was mistaken for a bank robber; considers American stereotypes about Africa (and vice-versa); and juxtaposes African folk tales with Wall Street trickery.
