Learning to See

History & Biography

“In Learning to See, Rich Christensen takes us back to a once-common literary form, the memoirs of a Christian missionary, and uses the discoveries he, his new wife, and his ten-year-old stepdaughter made of learning to appreciate a foreign culture and to see freshly how our own experiences as white, educated Americans both support us and trap us in a culture of freedom and affluence. This is a welcome addition to the genre.”
