“Rich . . . fascinating.” --The New York Times Book Review
“A master of eyewitness description and of the telling interview, [Maier] has unearthed Africa's hidden heroes and heroines.” --Financial Times
“Maier has written a sensitive and complex narrative. . . . excellent descriptions of the lives and experiences of both ordinary and extraordinary individuals in different parts of Africa.” --Richard Leakey, The Times (London)
“A remarkable book. … It is no easy task to articulate an intangible undercurrent in an area so geographically large and culturally diverse, but Maier has succeeded admirably. Maier gives us hope that [the Africans] can rebound and even thrive. Highly recommended.” --Library Journal
