About this product

Product Information

Alex Perry was TIME magazine's bureau chief in Africa until he left his job, partly out of frustration with the limits of the story he could tell as a foreign correspondent. This book is the result. Taking the Great Rift Valley as his central metaphor, Perry explores the split between a resurgent Africa and a world at odds with its rise, between rich and poor, between Western ideals and Western reality and between African dreams and African achievement. By exploding the myths about the continent, Perry reveals the stunning face of modern Africa, a place where cash is becoming a thing of the past, where African astronomers are unlocking the origin of life and where, twenty-five years after Live Aid, Ethiopia's first yuppies are traders on an electronic food exchange. THE RIFT is a groundbreaking new portrait of this fascinating, bewildering and rapidly changing continent.

The book is in "reasonable" condition! not vg condition as described- front cover permanent fold over on arrival, packed this way ? pages are yellowing. Seller may be best to place a description "proper" of actual book being sold on the listing with photos so buyers know what they are receiving for the price paid.
