Afrika přece není stát
V knize Afrika přece není stát Dipo Faloyin s humorem a nadhledem nabízí tolik potřebný reálný pohled na opomíjený region. Střídavě z velmi osobního i čistě politického hlediska vypráví skutečný příběh kontinentu a oslavuje jeho energii i podstatu pestrých kultur a komunit. Takto věrným a poutavým způsobem dosud Afriku západnímu světu pravděpodobně nikdo nepopsal. Knihu Afrika přece není stát budete od začátku do konce číst se slzami na krajíčku.
Africa Is Not A Country
A bright portrait of modern Africa that pushes back against harmful stereotypes to tell a more comprehensive story.
You already know these stereotypes. So often Africa is depicted simplistically as an arid red landscape of famines and safaris, uniquely plagued by poverty and strife.
In this funny and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective. He examines each country's colonial heritage, and explores a wide range of subjects, from chronicling urban life in Lagos and the lively West African rivalry over who makes the best Jollof rice, to the story of democracy in seven dictatorships and the dangers of stereotypes in popular culture.
By turns intimate and political, Africa Is Not A Country brings the story of the continent towards reality, celebrating the energy and fabric of its different cultures and communities in a way that has never been done before.
