Michael Harris, professor of English, returns to India after 30 years to study the rediscovery of Buddhism in its birthplace, ironically with British colonial help, 25 centuries later. Harris was awarded a Fulbright Grant for his research.
“Little Princes” retells Grennan’s decision to travel the world in 2004 and his subsequent discovery of rampant child trafficking while volunteering at an orphanage in Nepal. The memoir tracks the author’s initial reluctance to involve himself in a country struggling through civil war and his eventual steadfast resolve to aid the children.
