  • Africa and Africans keeps a watchful eye on what has happened in Africa and on what has happened in the rest of the world that shapes how people look at Africa. The world’s perception of Africa is an entanglement of myth and reality—both reflecting and changing with the times. This highly informative yet concise volume, written by two authors intimately familiar with Africa, presents the facts about African society—past and present. Students wishing to explore Africa’s historical events and rich traditions will discover that Africans want to keep what they value in their old way of life as they find themselves in an emerging global culture
