	CHASING THE DEVIL: The Search for Africa's Fighting Spirit Butcher, Tim New in paperback. For many years Sierra Leone and Liberia have been too dangerous to travel through, bedevilled by a uniquely brutal form of violence from which sprang many of Africa's cruellest contempo-rary icons - child soldiers, prisoner mutilation, blood diamonds. With their wars officially over, Tim Butcher sets out on a journey across both countries, trekking for 350 miles through remote rainforest and malarial swamps. Just as he followed Stanley through the Congo, this time he pursues a trail blazed by Graham Greene in 1935 and immortalised in the travel classic Journey Without Maps. Greene took 26 bearers, a case of scotch, and hammocks in which he and his cousin Barbara were carried. Tim walks every blistering inch to gain an extraordinary ground-level view of a troubled and overlooked region. 336pp, UK. VINTAGE. 2011 2010 9780099532064 Paperback Our Price: £9.99

DUST FROM OUR EYES: An Unblinkered Look at Africa Baxter, Joan Whether speaking with an African grandmother over 100 years old, interviewing an African inventor, or working with African journalists, Joan Baxter has been repeatedly amazed by the diversity of Africa and the resilience and spirit of its people. In this book she shares how living in Africa opened her eyes not only to injustices Africans have faced but also to the strengths and cultures that have helped them weather adversity. As she erodes the tired stereotypes of the western media, Joan Baxter leads us to question, as she herself did, the approach of the Western mindset. She aims to help readers to understand the continent, its triumphs and its problems, and she provides compelling evidence of the need for Westerners to scrutinise their own countries' policies at home and abroad and to do more to support Africans working to solve the problems they face. 430pp, UK.

The remnants of their separate lives, now left behind, are tentatively unpacked into their shared apartment on the Right Bank: Bruno's heavy blanket from Ethiopia, a set of long feathered arrows from Brazil, an ashtray stolen from a hotel in Algeria, and Janine's flak-jacket and canvas boots, still full of sand from the Western Desert in Iraq.

HOW TO WRITE ABOUT AFRICA Wainaina, Binyavanga A trio of witty essays In 'How to Write About Africa', Wainaina dissects the African clichés and precon-ceptions of Western writers and readers with a ruthless precision. In 'My Clan KC', he undresses the layers of meaning shrouding the identity of the infamous Kenya Cowboy. And in 'Power of Love', we start with a bemused recollection of the advent of the celebrities-for-Africa phenomenon, and end with the speculation two decades on that a $9-dollar-a-day cow from Japan could very well head a humanitarian NGO in Kenya, whose dollar-a-day people continue to fascinate the $5-dollar-a-day, 25-year-old backpackers who came and loved and compassioned and are now the beneficiaries of $5000 a month consulting for the United Nations. 52pp, KENYA.

JOINING AFRICA: From Anthills to Asmara Cantalupo, Charles This eye-opening personal history tells the story of an American college professor's twenty-year engagement with a thriving Africa rarely encountered by Western visitors, including an extraordinary connection to poets across the continent. It is a documentary of a journey through the continent, including an intense five-year encounter with economically struggling but culturally fertile Eritrea. The Africa presented here is neither a postcolonial study nor an exotic tourist destination. It is rich with the voices of its people, whose languages, Cantalupo argues, have greater potential to effect change than any NGO or high-profile celebrity. 282pp, USA.

In this distillation of his reflections accumulated from a lifetime of travel, he takes a fresh look at the Western idea of the Other: the non-European or non-American. Looking at this concept through the lens of his own encounters in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and considering its formative significance for his own work, Kapuscinski traces how the West has understood the Other from classical times to colonialism, from the age of enlightenment to the postmodern global village.
