Stereotyping Africa: Surprising Answers to Surprising Questions

By Fru Doh Emmanuel

	15.00 E

"This book deals with an interesting but also painful topic: the stereotyping of Africa in the West, notably in the United States of America. This is a laudable initiative... a timely and courageous effort to deal with long-standing stereotypes in the West."

Dr Piet Konings, Sociologist, African Studies Centre Leiden, The Netherlands

"Stereotyping - the production and consumption of frozen and often negative images and representations of others - are a feature of every society and encounter. This meticulous and well documented compilation of Western stereotypes about Africa, brings to the fore the element of power that gives life, visibility and legitimacy to the prejudices of some over those of others."

Francis B. Nyamnjoh, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cape Town, South Africa

"This book is a must read as it addresses questions too often thought of, but afraid to ask by so many. Emmanuel Fru Doh's writing is riveting as it opens the minds and hearts of men and women who truly are seeking an understanding of what ‘is' African as interpreted by Africans. This work is honest, authentic and forthright in all of its accounts on how stereotypes of Africa have been applied; moreover, misapplied through excessive and purposeful distortions by the West."

Dr Alvin L. Killough, Cultural Ecological Psychologist, University of Minnesota, Crookston, USA
