READING LIST (AFRICA)

I am testing out Zemanta a Firefox plug-in that promises to help discover links, articles and other resources automatically. It works with blogger, Wordpress and a few other blogging platforms. So far I am very impressed. To test this tool out I have used an old blog post which has been sitting in my draft folder for a second. Unfortunately, I have not been able to develop this entry, so for now we have to make do with Chris Blattman's list and a few from the Marginal revolution blog. I also threw in one or or two of mine. Please feel free to include the good African themed you have read. I intend to develop a concise list from all the entries I find on the web. I hope you like the list. I have used only links suggested by Zemanta. This tool has a very strong potential of being abused.

Robert Bates' "Market and States in Tropical Africa", John Updike's "The Coup", Untapped: The Scramble for Africa's Oil, by John Ghazvinian, Martin Meredith's The Fate of Africa, The Wizard of the Crow by Nagugi wa Thiongo is an allegory for post-colonial Africa, The Shackled Continent by Robert Guest, Also William Boyd's African novels: The Ice Cream War, Brazzaville Nights, "The State of Africa" by Martin Meredith, Ryszard Kapuscinsk's Shadow of the Sun.
