It would be a fresh change to read a book about what is working in Africa. Nice to get a nonfiction review too.

And the library has it – hurrah! I shall read it soon(-ish). I like the title itself, and how she refutes the Dark Continent.

Someone told me some time ago that everyone wants to save Africa, and that most people or groups have someone of their own to represent them. Africa, though, has Bono and Angelina Jolie. It was said in a much more eloquent way than that, but it really resonated with me.

The Book Smugglers are having an Octavia Butler readalong this month, if anyone wants to join: you can read a book by one of the first (and still few) black female science fiction writers.

I’ve been reading a couple of books for the event unofficially, but I haven’t written about them yet.
