In this groundbreaking collection of essays
Pius Adesanmi tries to unravel what it is that Africa means to him as an
African, and by extension to all those who inhabit this continent of extremes.
This is a question that exercised some of the continent's finest minds in
the twentieth century, but which pan-Africanism, Negritude, nationalism,
decolonization and all the other projects through which Africans
sought to restore their humanity ultimately failed to answer.
Criss-crossing the continent, Pius Adesanmi engages with the enigma that
is Africa in an attempt to make meaning of this question for all
twenty-first century Africans.
Pius Adesanmi was a Nigerian-born Canadian professor, writer, literary critic, satirist, and columnist. He was the author of Naija No Dey Carry Last, a 2015 collection of satirical essays. Adesanmi died on 10 March 2019, when Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed shortly after take-off.
