OverviewA vivid, powerful and controversial look at how the world gets Africa wrong, and how a resurgent Africa is forcing it to think again.Africa has long been misunderstood and abused by outsiders. Correspondent Alex Perry traveled the continent for most of a decade, meeting with entrepreneurs and warlords, professors and cocaine smugglers, presidents and jihadis. Beginning with a devastating investigation into a largely unreported war crime in 2011, when the US and the major aid agencies helped cause a famine in which 250,000 Somalis died he finds Africa at a moment of furious self-assertion. To finally win their freedom, Africans must confront three last false prophets Islamists, dictators, and aid workers who would keep them in their bonds. Beautifully written, intimately reported, and sure to spark debate, The Rift passionately argues that a changing Africa revolutionizes our ideas of it and of ourselves.
