Africa in Chaos
Georges B. N. Ayittey (1999)
Ayittey, author
of the award-winning Africa Betrayed (1993), presents
two schools of thought on Africa's current chaotic state: the
externalist view that points to the colonialists and
imperialists of Europe and the United States; and the
internalist view that points to the greed and incompetence of
African political and military leaders. He declares himself
primarily an internalist and provides a disturbing catalog of
atrocities committed by African governments, from human rights
abuses to the looting of national treasuries (...) Ayittey
(...) provides thought-provoking analysis and recommendations
that center on solutions based on African traditions and
internal resources. Vanessa Bush

Wonders of the African World
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (1999)
As Gates's compelling narrative shows, the continent's past continues to be felt in the lives of many
Africans today. And in America for the descendants of those brought here as slaves, that past has been a controversial inheritance, passionately embraced by some, fiercely rejected by others. For this reason, Gates's deeply personal account of discovery is charged throughout by a question posed by Countee Cullen in his 1925 poem "Heritage" and perennially asked by African Americans: What is Africa to me?
