      Andy Webster New York Times "In Africa, ignorance is the major disease that we suffer," says Adika Ferdinand, the principal of a Tanzanian school. The same could be said for much of the world. "The Boy From Geita" is an effective salvo against that plague. Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Meave Gallagher Village Voice The Boy From Geita has some fascinating subjects but absolutely no idea how to present them.
