‘Africa – concept or reality – is an acknowledged continent of extremes and, by the same token, it is hardly surprising that it draws extreme reactions. The increasingly accepted common ground, both for the negativities and optimists, is the admission that the African continent does not exist in isolation, nor has it stood still in a time-warp, independent of history.
A truly illuminating exploration of Africa has yet to take place. It does not pretend to take place even on the pages of this book, being content with retrieving a few grains for germination from the wasteful threshing floor of Africa’s existential totality.
