An African in Greenland

An African in Greenland

"An African in Greenland" is a 1981 book by the Togolese author Tété-Michel Kpomassie. It details his upbringing in Togo, his encounter as a teen with a book about Greenland and his determination to move there and become a hunter. After ten years, working his way across Africa and Europe, he finally arrives on the Arctic island. His encounter with the native Kalaallit population, which is very different but in many ways very similar in its lifestyle to the tribal society of Togo, forms the core of this book.
