State of Africa: History of the Continent Since Independence
by Martin Meredith
‘As a narrative of Africa’s political trajectory since independence, this book is hard to beat… Elegantly written as well as unerringly accurate’ Financial Times
‘Meredith has given a spectacularly clear view of the African political jungle’ Spectator
‘You cannot even begin to understand contemporary African politics if you have not read this fascinating book’ Bob GeldofAfrica 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 de-colonialisation 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? Fully revised and updated and weaving together the key stories and characters of the last sixty years into a stunningly compelling and coherent narrative, Martin Meredith has produced the definitive history of how European ideas of how to organize 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 the seminal book on one of the most important issues facing the West today.

The Psychology of Money
by Morgan Housel
DOING well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.
Money investing, personal finance, and business decisions is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.

Malcolm X: A Life Of Reinvention
Groundbreaking … It will be difficult for anyone to better this book … a work of art, a feast that combines genres skilfully: biography, true-crime, political commentary. It gives us Malcolm X in full gallop’ Wil Haygood, Washington Post
‘He was a country bumpkin who became a zoot-suited entertainer who became a petty criminal who became a self-taught intellectual … In his revealing and prodigiously researched new biography, Marable vividly chronicles these many incarnations of Malcolm X, describing the “multiple masks” he donned over the years’ Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
‘Explodes the myths that obscure the real man’ Hugh Muir, Guardian
‘By the end of the 1960s, Malcolm’s disciples had elevated him to what Manning Marable calls “secular sainthood” … But Marable resists the temptation of hagiography and fills in the gaps left by previous books. He gives us Malcolm in all his self-contradiction and self-doubt’ Yo Zushi, New Statesman
‘Lucid, hugely researched and surely definitive … an extraordinary story’ Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times
‘Here at last is the meticulous portrait he deserves’ Andrew Anthony, Observer
Author: Manning Marable

Jeff Koinange: Through my African eyes Hard Back
by Jeff Koinange
“Through My African Eyes!” is a concise narrative covering some of the major players in 20th century African politics. The book is rich with insights into the personal and intellectual underpinnings of many historical events in Africa. Chronicles of some pretty interesting Africans from warlords, soldiers, victims and politicians lend insight into Jeff’s celebrated journalistic style. Through his eyes we are made to understand the role of journalist’s as binders of our social fabric. “Through My African Eyes” is very informative and quite humorous, utilizing a modern quick precise narrative style. He is able to describe complex global geopolitical issues with incisive analysis. The book surf’s one through the experience with speed and historical accuracy. We see the visual the words impart, rather than being stuck in prose. The best part is being able to walk the journey informed by a largely Kenyan perspective. Jeff outlines clearly how biased reportage can splinter any society and promote its disintegration by pandering to people’s lowest instincts. The narrative draws out lesser-known aspects of his life. Jeff’s unblinking examination of his grandfather’s life is historically illuminating and serves as a symbolic bridge between the beginning and the end of colonialism. Jeff is the first African ever to win a Television Emmy and a George Foster Peabody. He merited the Vernon Jarrett Award as well as the prestigious! ‘Prix Bayeux’ for reportage that arrested global crises.
