Reviews

'We, in this present Journal of Oriental and African Studies, have been reviewing the Yearbook since its very beginnings, [...]. In all these years, the Yearbook has matured and has lived up to the expectations of its inceptors - but most importantly, it has managed to become the living reflection of Africa itself, it has managed to become a unique tool of analysis and information for all the developments in the Dark Continent. [...] Every Yearbook is at the same time typical of all the other yearbooks and distinct. This has to do with the political and economic developments of the continent's countries themselves - for example, 2018 was a significant year in African history, as for the first time for more than a decade, not a single violent or unconstitutional overthrow of the government was recorded . At the same time, the 2018 Yearbook records all the usual (but also some new) challenges and problems: reactions against the Chinese economic intrusion, internal conflicts, terrorism, desertification and climate change, bending of democratic rules, extreme poverty, lack of infrastructure, corruption, epidemics, but also some faint signs of hope (regional interconnection, infrastructural cooperation, development). [...] The Yearbook fulfils its mission, as usual, in the best possible way. But at the same time, the Yearbook is something much more than a simple yearbook: it is Africa's ongoing adventure recorder, its novel and its travelogue. Sotiris S. Livas, in Journal of Oriental and African Studies, Vol. 30 (2021), pp 519-520
