Great African Reads discussion

I can't read the Chad selection, as I can't find it in English, so I've decided to "assign" myself "Dark Age: The Political Odyssey of Emperor Bokassa" by Brian Titley for November/ December. If anyone else is reading it and would like to join in for a discussion, I'm on about page 70.

I read it and enjoyed it/learned a lot. But I think I returned my copy. However, I returned it with the intention of getting my own copy. So I guess I'll do that quickly!

Oh, excellent. I'm entering the dark tunnel of end of term grading from now through the beginning of December, so all my grading will be slow for a couple of weeks.

If anyone is reading this, or considering it, I would highly recommend it. It is very readable and has some interesting analysis of the continued influence of France on CARs political and economic development, not pretty.

That's how I felt, Andrea. I thought the book was very elucidating, if that's a word. My brain is mush at the moment. Apologies!
