In this bold and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much–needed corrective, weaving a vibrant tapestry of stories that bring to life Africa's rich diversity, communities, and histories. Starting with an immersive description of the lively and complex urban life of Lagos, Faloyin unearths surprising truths about many African countries' colonial heritage and tells the story of the continent's struggles with democracy through seven dictatorships. With biting wit, he takes on the phenomenon of the white savior complex and brings to light the damage caused by charity campaigns of the past decades. Entering into the rivalries that energize the continent, Faloyin engages in the heated debate over which West African country makes the best jollof rice and describes the strange, incongruent beauty of the African Cup of Nations. With an eye toward the future promise of the continent, he explores the youth–led cultural and political movements that are defining and reimagining Africa on their own terms. Africa Is Not a Country celebrates the energy and particularity of the continent's different cultures and communities, treating Africa with the respect it deserves. — AUDIOBOOK DETAILS Purchase on Google Play Books ►► https://g.co/booksYT/AQAAAECCmTbZpM Language: English Publisher: Highbridge Audio Published on: September 6, 2022 ISBN: 9781696609142 Duration: 9 hr, 24 min Genres: History / Africa / General, History / Modern / 20th Century / General, Social Science / Regional Studies, Travel / Africa / General
