Modern Africa

Africa Is Not a Country is a kaleidoscopic portrait of modern Africa that pushes back against harmful stereotypes to tell a more comprehensive story. You already know these stereotypes.

In this funny and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective, creating a fresh and multifaceted view of this vast continent.

Africans, though fascinatingly diverse, share a common evolution, all of which is characterized by the powerful strides of many names etched in the memories of their people. This audiobook presents these memories with a stimulating detailed account. This book shares the knowledge you need to know about modern Africa. Discover how the continent has come to be what it is today, and learn how other countries influenced events.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to chuck it all in and do something completely different? One night over a few too many beers, Sam Manicom decided to ride a motorcycle the length of Africa. A mad idea? Or a world of opportunity opening up?

Into Africa is a story that takes you exploring an incredible continent.
