Africa Is Not a Country – Dipo Faloyin

Africa Is Not a Country by Dipo Faloyin

Africa Is Not a Country is Dipo Faloyin’s sharp, entertaining, and stereotype-breaking portrait of modern Africa. With humor, insight, and precision, Faloyin dismantles the tired narratives that reduce the continent to poverty, safaris, and crisis. Instead, he reveals the cultural richness, political complexity, and everyday realities across different African nations—from spirited debates over jollof rice, to youth-led political movements, to the continent’s evolving popular culture. Through history, personal stories, and contemporary analysis, this book restores nuance and dignity to how Africa is seen and understood. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
