Challenges stereotypes of modern Africa through memoir, journalism and cultural criticism. General adult readership. by Dipo Faloyin In Africa Is Not a Country, journalist Dipo Faloyin pushes back against the single, stereotypical story of Africa told in the West. Through personal stories from his childhood in Lagos, travel across the continent, and sharp cultural criticism, he shows Africa as 54 distinct countries with different histories, languages, politics, humour and ambitions. He tackles the white saviour complex, the obsession with poverty and safari images, corrupt leaders, the Jollof Rice wars, stolen artefacts, Nollywood, Afrobeats, and what it really means to be African today. The book argues that Africa is not a country, not a charity case, and not a monolith — but a bright, complicated, modern continent.
