and if there was a time to take a
Ilook back at where we are coming
from, review where we are and make
accurate decisions about where we are
going, it is now. Prior to penning this
book, it was clear that this Afrika we have
right now does not carry the grandiosity

a period of oppression under imperialis-
tic colonialism that was one of the most
heinous crimes against humanity ever

lion multi-lingual, multi-cultural people
diversely situated across the continent
