Of This Our Country: Acclaimed Nigerian writers on the home, identity and culture they know

To define Nigeria is to tell a half-truth. Many have tried, but most have concluded that it is impossible to capture the true scope and significance of Africa’s most populous nation through words or images.

As per the blurb on the front of the book, this is a series of essays from 24 Nigerian writers. As with many books like this, some worked better than others. For me, my favourites were those personal histories that I could also learn from, such as funeral customs, education and visiting the market. There were one or two that were a bit whimsical for me, and read more like short fiction.
