The State of Africa 2003/2004.

Eddy Maloka.

This book represents the first in what is intended to be an ongoing publication by the Africa Institute on the ‘State of Africa’ – an attempt to assess the condition of the African continent without judging or coming to a ‘definitive’ diagnosis. In this volume, an attempt is made, aimed at the general reader, to provide as wide-ranging a coverage of the contemporary African condition as possible. The volume aims to provide an informative contemporary overview on a range of important topics.
