Eye-opening accounts of global childhoods - Rated
This book can be read on many levels. On a basic level, it can be read merely as a collection of entertaining stories of the childhoods of various people. On deeper level, it can be seen as a fasinating study into how the cultures in which we grow up shape our adult lives; and how children with no particular affiliation towards any country forge their own identities.
In this age where travel has never been easier and people are increasingly mobile, this book poses the question - what does nationality actually mean, and what happens when that is taken away? An important book for our time.
