The acclaimed author of Dark Star Safari journeys across western Africa in this “thoroughly engrossing [and] at times tragic” travelogue (Washington Post).Paul Theroux’s best-selling Dark Star Safari chronicled his epic overland voyage from Cairo to Cape Town, providing an insider’s look at modern Africa. Now, with The Last Train to Zona Verde, he returns to discover how both he and Africa have changed in the ensuing years. Traveling alone, Theroux sets out from Cape Town, going north through South Africa, Namibia, then into Angola, encountering a world increasingly removed from tourists’ itineraries and the hopes of postcolonial independence movements. After covering nearly 2,500 arduous miles, Theroux cuts short his journey, a decision he chronicles with unsparing honesty in a chapter titled “What Am I Doing Here?” Vivid, witty, and beautifully evocative, The Last Train to Zona Verde is a fitting final African adventure from the writer whose gimlet eye and effortless prose have brought the world to generations of readers. “If this book is proof, age has not slowed Theroux or encouraged him to rest on his achievements . . . Gutsy, alert to Africa's struggles, its injustices and history.” — San Francisco Chronicle Read more

Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa with an internal market of 150 million people and an economy growing at around 8 percent a year, is potentially Africa's next powerhouse. It is nearly one and a half times the size of Texas, with a landmass varying from sandy beaches and tropical jungles, to plains, mountains, and desert. This important West African nation is made up of 250 culturally distinct ethno-linguistic groups. The largest communities are the Hausa in the north, rooted in the Islamic city-states of the famed trans-Saharan trade routes; the Yoruba of the southwest, where ancient kingdoms nurtured some of Africa's best-known art forms; and the Igbo of the southeast, where decentralized, egalitarian communities have produced many of the country's most successful traders and businessmen. Nigeria has had a bad press: international reports of violence, corruption, and natural disasters completely overlook the vibrancy and artistic sophistication of its diverse cultural groups, most of whom live peacefully in mixed communities. Although Nigeria is the world's fifth-largest producer of oil, there is a huge disparity in income. The competition for scarce resources and the country's dense diversity have fostered ingenuity and perseverance on the part of its ambitious citizens. They are natural entrepreneurs, and intelligent and shrewd negotiators. They are also proud, and sensitive to criticism. Most are devout, gregarious, and hospitable, and disgusted by corruption. Now, in the twelfth consecutive year of democracy after years of military rule, major political and economic reforms are under way. Culture Smart! Nigeria is a unique introduction to life there today. Most of what is written about the country comes from the perspective of one or other tribe. There is nothing quite like this concise description of its major cultural traditions. The people most visitors will meet are well-educated, sophisticated, and well-versed in Western ways. Nonetheless, foreign businesspeople cannot hope to be successful without understanding the ancient and complex systems of behavior, values, and attitudes that underlie the country's vibrant social and business life.

"Sheds light on the slave trade, American slave life and the British abolitionist movement." -Daily Press (Newport News, Va.), June 8, 2014"Some Memories of the Life of Job" is one of the earliest and most intriguing slave narratives, being published in 1734. Ayuba Suleiman Diallo (1701-1773), also known as Job ben Solomon, was a famous Muslim who was a victim of the Atlantic slave trade. Born in Bundu, Senegal (West Africa), Job's memoirs were published as one of the earliest slave narratives in Thomas Bluett's 1734 book "Some Memories of the Life of Job." Diallo came from a prominent Fulbe family of Muslim religious leaders. His grandfather had founded the town of Bundu, and he grew up with Samba Geladio Diegui the heir to the Kingdom of Futa-Toro. In 1730, Job became a victim of the ever-growing slave exploitation of the Senegambia region. Job and his interpreter Loumein Yoas were near the Gambia River to trade slaves and paper. While visiting some friends on their return trip, Job and Yoas were captured by invading Mandingoes. Eventually Job was sold to a slave holder in Maryland. Job's story was an extremely rare exception in the slave trade. Due to his intelligence and monetary prowess, and Englishmen's desire to use him to increase their own profits in trade on the coast of Africa, he was able to legally escape the hardships of slavery and return home to Africa. Thomas Bluett (c.1690-1749) was a British judge in Annapolis, Maryland. Bluett gained lasting renown by the encounter with an African slave, Job, in 1731. While in jail in Annapolis, Job was visited by Thomas Bluett. Thomas became impressed with him and, through another slave acting as interpreter, wrote Job's biography. Read more

UPDATED EDITIONBLACK HISTORYAfrica has long been a stunningly scenic, intellectually gifted, and culturally varied continent. Many stories describe the history of the African people, including their development, difficulties, setbacks, and tenacious advancement.The African Kingdom of Dahomey was founded in the seventeenth century in the West African portion of the continent, and throughout the 1700s and 1800s, it became wealthy and strong thanks to the slave trade. The area is now Benin's southernmost region.There was a social class structure in Dahomey. At the very top was the king. The royal class stood under him, then commoners, and last slaves. One male and one female employee had a position in every government office. The ladies gave the king an update after checking on the men. The mighty army of Dahomey included women as well.In the 1600s, the Alladah monarchy gave birth to the kingdom of Dahomey. At this period, European slave traffickers were already traveling along the Atlantic coast. Dahomeans started enslaving members of other tribes. They traded guns and other items for the prisoners by selling them to slave traffickers. They also had their slaves. Large plantations where these slaves toiled produced food for the royal palace and the soldiers.Throughout the 1700s, the empire became more powerful and expansive. Dahomey began exporting palm oil rather than slaves in the 1800s when the slave trade was abolished in Great Britain and other nations.Dahomey was taken over by France towards the end of the 1800s. It was united with other areas to create a colony that the French dubbed Dahomey. In 1960, this colony became independent. Up until 1975, it was known as Dahomey before changing its name to Benin.This is the tale of the Dahomey Kingdom.This book will teach you more about:THE KINGDOM OF DAHOMEYRise and expansion of the Empire (1600-1740)A localized power (1740-1852)Abolishing the slave trade (1852-1880)European settlement (1880-1900)THE STORY OF THE FEARLESS AMAZON WARRIORS OF DAHOMEYAmazon of Dahomey in 1890Political PositionBattle and organizationDisputes with nearby kingdomsTHE SPARTAN WARSFirst Franco-Dahomean WarWar's root causeBattle of CotonouThe Atchoukpa BattleEnd of The WarSecond Franco-Dahomean WarEscalation of HostilitiesThe Dogba WarThe Poguessa BattleCombat at AdégonBattle at AkpaEnd of DahomeyConflict at CanaEnd Of The WarPresent Day BeninWhat are you still holding out for?
