Whether speaking with an African grandmother over 100 years old,
interviewing an African inventor, or working with African
journalists, Joan Baxter has been repeatedly struck by the
diversity of Africa and the resilience and spirit of its people. In
this book she shares how living in Africa opened her eyes not only
to injustices Africans have faced but also to the strengths and
cultures that have helped them weather adversity. As she erodes the
tired stereotypes of the western media, Joan Baxter leads us to
question, as she herself did, the approach of the western mindset.
She aims to help readers to understand the continent, its triumphs
and its problems, and she provides compelling evidence of the need
for westerners to scrutinise their own countries' policies at home
and abroad and to do more to support Africans working to solve the
problems they face.
