My Comments:
|
I read this excellent book that is a collection of articles written by Blaine Harden, an american journalist. The stories and articles really give you an idea of what modern life is like in Africa, from a high level view. If you are going to Africa, this should be on the top of your list.

The powerful and the powerless are here in dramatic narratives that explain a land swept up in change, lurching between an unworkable Western present and a collapsing African past. By focusing on individuals, Blaine Harden uncovers an Africa that endures behond the sum of its statistics.
