Overview:

Why is Africa still poor? What happens to the billions of aid dollars given yearly? Why do trade rules that fail African countries also cost us at the checkout line? Why doesn't Africa matter? In this engaging, jargon-free, reader-friendly guide, longtime aid worker and diplomat Giles Bolton offers his radical analysis of the problems Africa faces, drawing on years of experience on the ground. Dividing the book into five sections - poverty, aid, trade, globalization, and change - he analyzes the issues, breaking them down with helpful features like sidebars and bullet points and humanizing them with stories about real people in Africa and anecdotes from his own years in the field. In a final section, he outlines what we as individuals can do to make a difference.
