The Plaza of Illusion, by Marshall Appoh: recommended book
This book is related to unit 10A in our syllabus, which deals with belonging, adaptation to other countries, cultural shock and immigration. That's why it could be a good complement for our course.
This is the story of Osam, a young, struggling, African graduate that ultimately manages to travel to Europe in search of a better life. There, he comes face to face with the realities of life as an African in the land of the white man - struggling to cope with the cultural differences that confront him. However, through persistence and hard work, one day he achieves his aim of getting a white-collar job, his life thus changing from that of office cleaning to one behind an office desk. His inferiority complex leads him to wholeheartedly embrace the western culture, which ultimately creates conflict both within himself and within his small Ghanaian community - as manifested when he returns home to visit his family. Back home, this capricious character is faced with two life-changing choices, and his inconsistent personality is severely put to the test until one side of him eventually surrenders to the dominant other.
