It’s a continent

Why is Africa still perceived as a country when there are around 2000 languages spoken on the continent alone? The authors aim to counter the misconception that Africa is a country by breaking down this vast, beautiful and complex continent into regions and countries. Each of the 54 African countries has a unique history and culture, and this book highlights the key historical moments that have shaped each nation and contributed to its global position, as well as within the African continent. Each chapter (focusing on a different country) brings to light stories and African figures that have been marginalised in mainstream education, in a humorous and easily-digestible format.
