Africa is forever on our TV screens, but the bad-news stories (famine, genocide, corruption) massively outweigh the good (South Africa). Ever since the process of decolonialisation began in the mid-1950s, and arguably before, the continent has appeared to be stuck in a process of irreversible decline. Constant war, improper use of natural resources and misappropriation of revenues and aid monies contribute to an impression of a continent beyond hope. How did we get here? What, if anything, is to be done? Weaving together the key stories and characters of the last fifty years into a stunningly compelling and coherent narrative, Martin Meredith has produced the definitive history of how European ideas of how to organise 10,000 different ethnic groups has led to what Tony Blair described as the 'scar on the conscience of the world'. Authoritative, provocative and consistently fascinating, this is a major book on one of the most important issues facing the West today.

读后感

总体的阅读感受 读得我都要吐了。本来打算每天看一章，后来觉得太慢了，想每天看两三章。后来实在受不了其内容的“折磨”，用了三天时间赶快看完了。想起那个不怎么好的电影，有治愈能力的大黑人，每次把病患或外伤垂死者体内的“黑色物质”吸入自己的口中之后，都要再将它们吐...
