Into Africa is a most revealing book. While it was great to have many of my own impressionsof Africa confirmed, it was even better to gain new knowledge and wisdom. - Herma n J. Cohen, U.S. Ambassador to the Gambia and Senega l (retired), former Assistant Secretary of State for Africa
An invaluable source for anyone wanting to experience Africa. The authors begin with a subject of unimaginable scope and somehow make it concise and comprehensible … a truly magnificent work for both scholar and novice. - Warren M. Robbins, Founding Director Emeritus, National Museum of Africa n Art, Smithsonian InstitutionThis book gives well-informed and up-to-date insight into the principal differences in customs, attitudes and values between Westerners and the peoples of Africa. It is a valuable contribution to better communications, capacity building and trade with a region offering huge economic potential for the 21st century.About The Author
