Radio Ethiopia: Testimony of a Development Brat
Author: Tim Shaner

“We are carried through it all by the intensity of Shaner's search for understanding: of himself, of what it meant to grow up an expatriate American in Ethiopia, of his own ethical authority as a writer to seek an understanding that is necessarily bound up in the suffering and exploitation of others. All is defamiliarized and rigorously interrogated—and yet, what remains is has been both reckoned and felt, so that finally Radio Ethiopia dreams itself to a place of liminal possibility rather than a false, reassuring conclusion. Rich, rewarding, and gorgeous.” —Mike Copperman, author of Teacher: Two Years in the Mississippi Delta
