You Grew Taller Than the Palm Ikechi Akurunwa

You Grew Taller Than the Palm draws the curtain for the reader to see the face of Africans forging through the wild winds of colonialism, tyranny, and self-inflicted injuries. It unveils the face of the African struggle, the face of those who are clawed to death in the journey, and those who daily claw their way through the dark to rise to the top. You Grew Taller Than the Palm is not only the story of Black Africa. It throws a lot of light on the faces that created the colonial African state and the cruel footprints they left behind, as well as the faces of Africans who have continued where the West left off.
