Author Interviews & Plugs

The author, or a host talking with the author, discusses the book. Not counted as an endorsement.

“I think of an example that I talk about in the book where there's this big campaign in Uganda to send in Western forces to capture Joseph Kony and a very evil warlord.”

Why: It addresses whether outside interventions respect local agency and fight stereotypes.
