This continent was once seen as empty, rural, animist, poor, and forgotten by the
world. Now, fifty years after independence, it is full to bursting, urban and monotheist.
If poverty and violence are still rampant, economic growth has taken off again and a
middle class is developing. Africa will hold a central place in the big issues facing the
world today. If it once made a ‘false start’, here it is back again – in the fast
lane.
The West has missed the turnaround of a continent that will no longer wait for us. How
can we best understand it? Demography, economics, politics, diplomacy, cultures and
religions – this book presents the different facets of this new Africa, which will soon
have a billion people, at the mid point of the most rapid population boom that humanity
has ever known. Without ignoring the risks of its metamorphosis, it brings to light the
forces and hopes that Africa harbors.
