145 essays written over three decades on the history, politics, international relations, culture, film, sports, and travel of Africa and its diaspora. "Adekeye Adebajo has put together an extraordinary collection of his essays, both scholarly and literary, true to the depth and breadth of his knowledge of African and international affairs. I have long been a great admirer of his scholarship and literary talents, which often brings to mind the combination I have always associated with another legendary scholar, Professor Ali Mazrui – an educator and an entertainer." Francis Deng, Former Visiting Professor at New York University, and Columbia and Yale Law Schools.
