I had to read Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians as a matriculating college freshman. Following up the same year with Things Fall Apart in Intro to Anthropology was fitting. Definitely went through a phase of colonial conquest and rot in both history and fiction reading, mandatory and for personal interest.
