A brilliant picture of a rich, exotic, complex and fascinating continent in the style of Bruce Chatwin. photographs, art and maps lend insight and depth to empires and trading patterns of prehistory as the primary framework, to explain how Africa was and is today. The book does not ignore the calamities, the collapse of civil authority, the wars, the famines, the human misery, the environmental degradation. But it does record the triumphs, small and large. More legend, art and culture, both popular and profound.
