The Shadow of The Sun – My African Life

Ryszard Kapuscinski has been writing about the people of Africa throughout his career. In a study that avoids the official routes, palaces and big politics, he sets out to create an account of post-colonial Africa seen at once as a whole and as a location that wholly defies generalised explanations. Except as a geographical term, “Africa” doesn`t exist. As always, Kapuscinski writes vividly about his experiences and the people he meets.But The Shadow of the Sun is more than a clear and sharp account. It is both a sustained meditation on the mosaic of peoples and practises we call `Africa`, and an impassioned attempt to come to terms with humanity itself as it struggles to escape from foreign domination, from the intoxications of freedom, from war and from politics as theft.
