A lively, entertaining and informative book by a talented debut writer which breaks stereotypes and invites you to look at Africa with fresh eyes. It ranges from the serious to the lighthearted and the micro to the macro to give a kaleidoscopic view of the variety of the countries often lumped together as one 'Africa': eclectic chapters ranging from dictators, colonial legacies and white saviours to jollof rice, football and aunties. Full of fascinating and enlightening facts.
