Reviews

An exhilarating journey through the myths, misconceptions and stereotypes of modern Africa. This book is the history lesson that we all need, to understand the damage that has been done by legacies of white supremacy affecting African nations and the whole world.
*Guardian*

Warm, funny, biting and essential reading.
*Adam Rutherford, author of How To Argue With A Racist*

Powerful and heartfelt... A long-overdue and compelling corrective... Faloyin has written a book inspired by love and hope for a much-abused and maligned continent, whose future, he insists, is filled with promise.
*Guardian*

For curious minds... a truly revelatory read... a book that will stay with you long after you've finished - and one that opens a new chapter on the way you'll think about Africa.
*Mail on Sunday*

Impossible not to relish.
*New York Times*

This book should be on the curriculum.

A necessary book that deserves its place in the canon as essential reading.

Hilarious, ferocious, generous and convincing.

Incisive, thought-provoking and, above all, beautifully written - effortlessly blends memoir, political analysis and historical nonfiction to create something genuinely compelling and new
*Zing Tsjeng, author of Forgotten Women*

A triumph of a book...charismatic and hugely enjoyable...You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't read this.
*Nels Abbey, author of Think Like a White Man*

A brilliant, prescient exploration of a richly complex continent. An antidote for our times.
*Irenosen Okojie, author of Nudibranch*

Impeccably researched...brimming with humor and intellect. A necessary read.
*JK Chukwu, author of The Unfortunates*

A vital book that offers us new, complex narratives to view African countries and their relationships to Europe and the Global North. Faloyin's stylish, propulsive prose blends history, memoir and opinion, so that reading him has the impression of being at the knee of a great storyteller.
