The University of Nebraska Press title In the United States of Africa made a summer reading list put together by Public Radio International program The World. Here’s the description of In the United States of Africa that The World posted on its Web site:

"In the United States of Africa by Abourahaman A. Waberi. Translated from the French by David and Nicole Ball. University of Nebraska Press. Waberi, a French-speaking African writer, makes expert use of an acidic satiric set-up worthy of Swift. History has reversed itself: millions flee the poverty of the United States and Europe for the prosperity of Africa. A short, bittersweet, and amusing mediation on multicultural reversals of fortune."
