Recommendation: THE HEALERS BY AYI KWEI ARMAH

“I recommend a novel, The Healers, by Ayi Kwei Armah. It's a great murder mystery and meditation on the importance of ethics and inspiration vs. social decay and manipulation set in an African community. Reading it in my youth, it has remained a powerful influence on my imagination.”

Book Description: The Healers tells a story of the conflict and regeneration focused on replacing toxic ignorance with the healing knowledge of African unity.
