In today's podcast I discuss Tété-Michel Kpomassie's memoirs titled An African in Greenland. It's beautifully narrated account of a young man who leaves Africa, travels through Europe, in search of Arctic mountains, and finally arrives in Greenland. Along the way he learns and shares some remarkable lessons on human societies.
