One of President Doti’s recommendations is What is the What (President Obama also recommends it). Dave Eggers wrote astutely about the very difficult world of the Lost Boys of Sudan and particularly about Valentino Achak Deng. I knew some of the history of Sudan, but I learned many additional facts about the people and their struggles, i.e. along with many others, Achak spent 13 years in refugee camps. That information about dislocated people and refugee camps will be in my consciousness as I now read about the conditions of the camps in Kenya and Pakistan.
