Quiconque lit ce livre en sort avec une nouvelle idée de l'Afrique. L'auteur parle des cinquante ambigües pour caractériser les cinquante années d'indépendance africaine. L'analyse politique, économique et sociale de la période 1960-2010 donne un bilan en clair-obscur qui impose ce constat. Dans ce livre, écrit avec rigueur et méthode dans un langage abordable par un large public, Thierry Amougou interroge les dynamiques sociopolitiques et économiques africaines et y décèle, sous contrainte des acquis des études du développement et des grands défis du XXIe siècle, des avancées, des stagnations, des innovations, des bifurcations imprévisibles et des dégradations. La conception du pouvoir politique et ses conséquences sur la vie, l'Etat, le développement et les classes populaires ainsi que la nouvelle question sino-africaine sont passées au crible. Ses conclusions n'augurent, ni d'un " paradis ", ni d'un " enfer ", mais tout simplement d'un continent à la marche singulière vers sa continuité en tant qu'entité historique.

Mary Kingsley (1862-1900) is one of the best known Victorian women travellers, whose solo adventures in West Africa made her a celebrity in England. This, her second book, published in 1899, was an instant best-seller. She travelled extensively, engaging in trade both to fund her trip and to get to know the African people, rather than merely observing as an outsider. Some of her views were considered controversial - she opposed the attempts by missionaries to impose European culture on native people, and defended polygamy and even slavery. She opposed direct colonial rule, and wanted Africans to have more self-determination. Her observations and interests are wide-ranging, and she showed an acute and sympathetic understanding of West African culture and society.

"Selections from the Berkshire Encyclopedia of World History, 2nd edition, stress Africa's interrelatedness to other regions and cultures--from the earliest trade routes, the arrival of Christianity and Islam, and the ramifications of colonialism, to contemporary issues, such as the HIV/AIDS epidemic and apartheid, that thwart Africa's efforts to establish unity."--Provided by publisher.
