Summary: Charting the changes in people's standards of living
Review: The price tag for a paperwork may seem steep even if it is packed with almost four hundred pages of detail; but any personal, professional, or academic library reference collection strong in African social issues and history won't want to miss Roel Van Der Veen's powerful What Went Wrong With Africa, charting the unprecedented changes in people's standards of living in Africa over the years. Africa is the only large contiguous region left out of the worldwide rise in prosperity: What Went Wrong With Africa seeks to explain why.
