Review by Jeff Fearnside
Peter Chilson’s gripping new book, Disturbance-Loving
Species, throbs with the life of Africa. Chilson recognizes
that the best place-based writing is focused on people and their
stories. Those in DLS are told from the point of view of
Americans who often burn with anger at the injustice they see and
their inability to help, and Africans who live in a world governed
by fear and resignation.
