Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
People live their life in Africa. Things are different than what we are used to. There are rituals for taking people out to die and multiple wives are the norm. People have heard of "white people", but think of them as sick, abnormal people. Then the white men and the missionaries appear and things change. It is an interesting glimpse into the "contact-era" African culture. It is not idealized or daemonized, but just "culture".
