Peace
of Africa: Reflections on Life in the Great Lakes Region is
a book that explores life adventures on the ground through experiential
knowledge and observations. Through personal experience with his
Kenyan family, friends, and colleagues, Zarembka captures the essence
of cultural and societal issues and skillfully deciphers the differences
between African and American culture that frequently escape casual
visitors and expatriates alike.
By
weaving personal stories with historical narratives, A Peace
of Africa explores how the Great Lakes region of Africa went from optimism at
the time of independence to the conflict, corruption, wars, and genocide
that have engulfed the region since then.
