You Try Paa: A Love Song in Translation - Paperback

by Cynthia Ann Caul (Author)

Cynthia Ann Caul's debut collection of poetry and a Peace Corps memoir over ten years in the making. This work examines the role of Peace Corps in community and international development, as well as its position in the historical trajectory of colonialism and neocolonialism through the very human experiences of a public health volunteer living in rural Ghana. The work is an exploration of racial, gender, national, and religious identity and an opportunity for those of white racial identity and those from the "Global North" or the "western," "developed," world to consider their unearned privilege, power, and influence alongside the author. PLEASE NOTE: Certain functions of an e-reader can change the physical integrity of the poems.
