Ich war vorher in einer *gut sortierten* Wiener Buchhandlung, um Bücher für die nächste Reise zu kaufen. Im Regal "Afrika" habe ich insgesamt sieben Reiseführer und Reisereportagen gefunden. Sieben Bücher! Für einen ganzen Kontinent! Es macht mich so wütend!
'Africa is Not a Country' by Dipo Faloyin is so very worth a read to better understand the world and the impact of colonialism - and, if you're a writer - to better understand great writing.
Inspired, sharp, funny, horrific, provocative and vibrant, this is a history book and commentary that feels alive in your hands.
