I’m delighted to say that ‘An African History of Africa’ is now available in paperback and that it has been selected as @Foyles Nonfiction Book of the Month. Everyone is originally from Africa. This book is therefore for everyone. https://t.co/5uuHrntOzn

For too long Africa's history has been neglected. I am thrilled to reveal the beautiful cover of my new book, An African History of Africa. I've had a great experience writing it and I can't wait to share it with you all. The link to pre-order is in my bio. https://t.co/IfPnlV1Xi
