brilliant

I found this to be a excellent introduction to African History. The authors present the complexity of African History very well and do so in a way that is respectful to Africans. I especially appriciated the attention to common mistakes about Africa.
Body-State Metaphor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I began looking at the dramatic changes in Tanzania with several Middle School students when a parent suggested this book by Reynolds. It is certainly a good read. Our first exposure to the world's oldest political metaphor (body-state metaphor of Aesop's Fable BELLY and the MEMBERS) came through a friend in Cameroon, another influential ex-colony. The list goes on and it was hard for us to pick a favorite chapter. We will place this one next to our most popular non-textbook.
