Imagining Africa

Beschreibung

At times of Western crisis, such as the 2007-8 financial crisis, there has been a sudden growth of Afro-optimism, seemingly predicting Africa's 'rise'. Gabay examines British imperial attitudes towards Africa and shows that this phenomenon of positive coverage of Africa is neither unique, unexpected nor unpredictable.
