"Only with the greatest of simplifications, for the sake of convenience, can we say Africa. In reality, except as a geographical term, Africa doesn't exist." Ryszard Kapuscinski has written about the people of Africa throughout his career. In a study that avoids official routes, palaces, and major politics, he attempts to create an account of post-colonial Africa, approaching it as a whole, but also as a location that cannot fit into generalizations. It is a constant reflection on the mosaic of peoples and practices that we call "Africa," as well as a passionate effort to understand the humanity trying to escape foreign domination, the intoxications of freedom, war, and politics as theft.
