The Nail That Sticks Up: An American Woman in Asia and Africa Book
Since 1982 Nancy Wadsworth Duncan has been traveling the globe, equipped with a backpack and unfailing curiosity about non-Western cultures. The Nail That Sticks Up is her tale of adventures on two continents?Asia and Africa?and her portrayal of the people she?s met along the way. Equal parts vivid description, anthropological observation, and ironic commentary, this book is an amusing, insightful depiction of everyday life in places that are simultaneously very different and surprisingly similar, from Japanese after-hours debauchery to Central African sorcery to an Afro-Japanese wedding in a Shinto shrine. Above all, The Nail That Sticks Up is the story of an intrepid American woman who loathes itineraries, loves vibrant Third World markets, and prefers donkey carts to Carnival cruises. So get out your passport, pack your malaria prophylaxis, and join her for a fascinating and unconventional journey.Read More
