The literary and scientific texts and essays in this richly illustrated reader reflect on Africa at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

In an extensive artists’ section, five internationally known African artists–El Anatsui, Zarina Bhimji, António Ole, Yinka Shonibare, and Pascale Marthine Tayou–engage in a dialogue with the various buildings of the Berlin National Gallery.
