## Description

Buy Africa Is Not A Country: Breaking Stereotypes of Modern Africa 1 by Faloyin, Dipo (ISBN: 9781529114829) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Unlearn to relearn with this book - This book is a must read for lovers of history. The author through wit and sarcasm, explored the lasting impacts of colonial influence on the countries that make up the African continent. History is usually shaped by the perspective of the storyteller, hence the need to read widely and diversely. Doing so allow us to understand events from multiple viewpoints and form our own informed opinions. I particularly appreciated Faloyin’s insight into how colonial powers manipulated the minds of black people through savior complex narratives. His discussion prompted me to reflect deeply on what lasting good the numerous aids and charities to African countries have achieved. This book also examines how cultural products have shaped and distorted the global image of Africa. Africa is not a country is a powerful and beautifully written narrative that challenges stereotypes and invites readers to see the continent with clarity and respect. My only grouse with the book is that I did not want it to end.
Review: An excellent and thought-provoking account - This is one of the best-written accounts of African affairs that I have read in a long time. Some very pertinent observations will give much food for thought for anybody interested in the continent and its development. Some excellent background history combined with an insightful analysis of the media portrayal of African countries and social developments present some genuine eye-openers. I was particularly shocked by revelations about the looted treasures of various civilisations and the thoroughly dishonest excuses offered by ostensibly respectable museums and public bodies to prevent their return to their home countries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read book for the National Curriculum
*by R***N on 7 August 2023*

This is a fascinating and often humbling exploration of a continent many see as a country. It reveals the diversity of the many nations and peoples that populate this vast continent. Told with humour but at the same time sparing you none of the suffering that has been inflicted by others. It tells of the oppression and asset stripping of both people and material. It is a 'shame' that is the responsibility of the outside world. But in the end there is hope. As countries find their identity, embrace and promote their culture, and show the world they are more than capable of becoming a great and prosperous continent.
