| Summary, etc | The African continent is probably the most misunderstood region in the world. It is a continent that generates an enormous amount of interest and attention, yet is also subject to significant misrepresentation and generalisation that does little to account for its diversity or complexity. Moving beyond the outdated 'single story' narrative that has permeated the contemporary study of the continent and the nations within it, this book provides a clear and concise introduction to contemporary Africa's social, economic, political and cultural composition. Matthew Graham provides a nuanced introduction using multiple examples and case studies from across the continent, covering key themes and issues such as African nationalism, decolonialisation, the causes of conflict and economic progress, as well as providing insight into and analysis of topics including social movements, film, literature and the diaspora. This book will service as essential reading for those seeking a true understanding of contemporary Africa. Assuming no prior knowledge of the reader, and incorporating coverate from a range of academic disciplines, it will particularly suit undergraduate students taking courses on Africa housed in social sciences and humanities departments |
