After a lifetime's close observation of the continent, one of the
world's finest Africa correspondents has penned a landmark book on
life and death in modern Africa. It takes a guide as observant,
experienced, and patient as Richard Dowden to reveal its truths.
Dowden combines a novelist's gift for atmosphere with the scholar's
grasp of historical change as he spins tales of cults and commerce
in Senegal and traditional spirituality in Sierra Leone; analyzes
the impact of oil and the internet on Nigeria and aid on Sudan; and
examines what has gone so badly wrong in Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Burundi,
and the Congo. Dowden's master work is an attempt to explain why
Africa is the way it is, and enables its readers to see and
understand this miraculous continent as a place of inspiration and
tremendous humanity.
