Africa Is Not a Country: Notes on a Bright Continent by Dipo Faloyin

funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective slow-paced

5.0

A witty but also insightful exploitation of the monolithic view of Africa that many people especially from the west still hold. By using wit and humor, Dipo Faloyin reminds anyone who is looking to expand their understanding of Africa and its people not to lump the 54 diverse countries of Africa into a single, homogeneous entity but to approach Africa with curiosity and respect, to look beyond the headlines, and to understand the complexity and diversity of a continent that has far too often been reduced to a set of oversimplified narratives.

Truly an essential read especially in the current times that we find ourselves in.
