A revised and updated edition of the landmark book about the
miraculous continent by the finest living Africa correspondent.
Every time you try to say 'Africa is...' the words crumble and
break. From every generalisation you must exclude at least five
countries. And just as you think you've nailed down a certainty,
you find the opposite is also true. Africa is full of surprises.
For the past three decades, Richard Dowden has travelled this vast
and varied continent, listening, learning, and constantly
re-evaluating all he thinks he knows. Country by country, he has
sought out the local and the personal, the incidents, actions, and
characters to tell a story of modern sub-Saharan Africa - an area
affected by poverty, disease and war, but also a place of
breathtaking beauty, generosity and possibility. The result is a
landmark book, compelling, illuminating, and always surprising.
This revised edition has an additional chapter on Ethiopia and has
been updated throughout to reflect changes such as the death of
Mandela and the attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi. It also
includes two new maps and a new final chapter considering the shape
of Africa's future.
