‘In your text, treat Africa as if it were one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving. Or it is hot and steamy with very short people who eat primates. Don’t get bogged down with precise descriptions.’
How to Write About Africa
This ground-breaking collection brings together, for the first time, Binyavanga’s pioneering writing on the African continent including many of his most critically acclaimed pieces, such as the viral satirical sensation How to Write About Africa.
Writing fearlessly across a range of topics – from politics to international aid, cultural heritage and redefining sexuality – this is a remarkable illustration of a writer at the height of his power.
