A thorough consideration of all of the many attempts at democracy that have occurred on the African continent since decolonisation. This is a book that does not permit the reader to come away thinking about Africa in the same way as they did before. The extent to which our perceptions are shaped by the western media are revealed only when we are exposed to a starkly different, and profoundly humanising perspective, as this title provides in the form of interviews with key African figures fighting for democracy.
