Description
Mistaking Africa: Misconceptions and Inventions explores how Western perceptions of the continent have evolved over time. By examining popular media's role in shaping these images, the authors address common myths and preconceptions that hinder our understanding of Africa's diverse cultures and peoples.
The fifth edition updates its analysis to consider a broader range of perspectives on Africa, including those presented through social and digital media. This book is an important resource for anyone seeking to unravel misperceptions about the continent.
