Publisher's Synopsis
Dillibe Onyeama was the first Black boy to complete his education at Eton in 1968. A groundbreaking narrative of the deep psychological effects of colonialism and racism, 'Afro Saxon' tells in vivid detail of his own background as the son of a Nigerian judge at the International Court of Justice at The Hague, of his arrival at the school, of the curriculum, of his reception by other boys (and masters), and of his punishments. He tells, too, of the cruel racial prejudice he suffered and his reactions to it, and of the alienation and stereotyping he faced at such a young age.
