FDR : transforming the presidency and renewing America
Iwan Morgan
So often Africa is depicted simplistically as a red landscape of safaris and famines. The author corrects this view to create a fresh and positive view of the continent. By turns intimate and political, he looks at buzzy urban life in Lagos and the lively West African rivalry over who makes the best jollof rice, before giving us the story of democracy in ten dictatorships, an insight into different regional accents and the colonial foundation of many countries which are still younger than your grandparents.
