Description: "In Dust from our Eyes: An unblinkered look at Africa, Joan Baxter shares how living in Africa opened her eyes not only to the injustices Africans have faced, but also to the strength and deep culture that has helped them weather adversity. As she disperses the tired sterotypes of the western media, Joan Baxter leads us to question, as she herself did, the approach of the western mindset and to consider the wisdom of Africa."--Jacket.
