Africa Is Not a Country: Notes on a Bright Continent

byDipo Faloyin

An exuberant, opinionated, stereotype-busting portrait of contemporary Africa in all its splendid diversity, by one of its leading new writers. The research behind Africa Is Not a Country draws together scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies to show how the central story changed over time. The result links the notes on a bright continent with debates in history and social science, showing where public institutions and private experience meet. Accessible without flattening the complexity, Africa Is Not a Country gives readers a focused account of what changed, who was affected, and why the story endures.
