Book Reviews of Africa Is Not A Country
Book Review: It's about time....
Summary: 5 Stars
While I will admit immediately that I have not read the book yet, I am highly pleased that it was written at all. While working as a pharmacy technician,I mentioned to a patient that I was formerly a librarian at a ritzy private elementary school in Nigeria. She had never even heard of Nigeria,and I informed her that it is indeed the most populous Black nation on Earth. She exclaimed,"Really? I thought that was Africa!". That woman is almost sixty years old,has lived in the US her entire life and I presume at least finished high school. I was appalled to say the least at her ignorance. Perhaps,when I return to education I will make it required reading for all my students,regardless of their age or educational level.
