Oh, I can't believe I almost forgot
An African in Greenland by Tete-Michel Kpomassie. A young black villager in sub-Saharan Africa reads about Greenland in a book at his local missionary and runs away from his village determined to visit that place.
Eventually he makes it and provides an interesting glimpse into life both in 1950s sub-Saharan Africa as well as the very odd culture of the people of Greenland.
