Guy Tillim, Congo Democratic

Successive wars in the Congo, one beginning in 1996 and the other in 1998, have left the country devastated. After five years of combat, and an estimated 3.5 million mainly civilian deaths, an agreement was reached in 2003 that called for general elections and a new constitution by 2005.

Africa Is In Style

It is not unusual to see the colors and hear the rhythms of Africa at runway shows in Paris, New York, or Milan. But despite its influence on Western designers, African fashion is still struggling to make itself known.

Mukiwa: A White Boy In Africa


Peter Godwin grew up in Rhodesia during the end of white rule. While his Rhodesians Never Die is a historical account of that time, Mukiwa is a more personal narrative–a testament to Africa and a memoir as seen through the eyes of a child becoming a young man amidst civil war.

African Film: Re-Imaging a Continent

Josef Gugler invites his reader to ‘re-imagine Africa’ by examining fifteen key films bade by African directors and contrasting them with two very successful films on Africa, one from Hollywood, the other from apartheid South Africa. The films serve to highlight African directors’ altogether different perspectives and introduce the primary concerns and issues that they address, from the recovery of African history to the struggle for majority rule in South Africa, from the fight against colonialism to the betrayals of independence and the neglect to the peasantry, with the position of women a recurrent theme.

Africa, In The Picture

The explorers and adventurers who travelled to Africa in the nineteenth century found a savage and untameable continent. Their travel accounts tell of inaccessible regions, inhabited by primitive and dangerous tribes, and a previously undreamt-of variety of wild animals. But time has not stood still for in Africa either, and although the continent seems to be more impervious to advancing globalisation, there is every indication that a lot of its magnificent fauna and flora, as well as many of its unique cultures, will be lost to future generations.
