Synopsis:

Brings to Africa to life, a continent of riches and wonders, and also of people often unkown or misunderstood. Readers are invited to discover the glory of the pharaohs, the Towers of Zimbabwe, the cosmology of Yoruba and the courage of the Masai. The plight of the African nations has gained the world's attention, yet African culture is usually overlooked at a moment when Africans are struggling to preserve their cultual heritage and homeland.
