THE SHADOW OF THE SUN - RYSZARD KAPUSCINSKI KAR...

'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 been
writing about the people of Africa throughout his career. In astudy that avoids the official
routes  palaces and big politics  he sets out to create an account of post-colonial Africa seen
at once as a whole and as a location that wholly defies generalised explanations. It is both a
sustained meditation on themosaic of peoples and practises we call 'Africa'  and an impassioned
attempt to come to terms with humanity itself as it struggles to escape from foreign domination
from the intoxications of freedom  from war and from politics as theft.
