A book to learn from

4 stars

At times l, this book burns with a righteous anger, at others it shines with joy and humour, in still others it frustrates with a scattergun lack of focus. In those bright and angry moments, though, it's something to learn from. Great discussions of how 'Africa' has been created in Western media, and how the cultural treasures of the real Africa have been looted to museums in the rest of the world.
