Excerpt

"There are many illustrations in colour and gruesome prints of the slave trade, but the post-colonial period is also there, and there is the Africa that we get to know, where the Emperor of Ethiopia shares grace and conciliation, President of Senegal writes poetry and Nyerere saves the Serengeti even while other rulers plan their interminable coup."
