Maddy’s Reviews > The Fate of Africa: From the Hopes of Freedom to the Heart of Despair > Status Update

Genuinely one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read this is insane - I should read about pre-colonial Africa next

Why the fuck have I only ever heard of Nelson Mandela before, these other political figures are insanely interesting - can't help but feel Nyerere sounds lowkey goated but I don't know if things will change as I progress in time through this book....

I wish I would've locked in and started reading earlier because this book is so addicting but way too large to lug on the plane...... unless......

I am ashamed (on behalf of the education system that raised me) to admit how much I am learning right now - African history really gets very minimal consideration in US classrooms beyond a very crude "that's where slaves came from"
