There is a cliché the more things change, the more they remain the same. Does this aptly describe the true nature of the African continent?Vol. 1 and 2 of this trilogy take us through epic periods in African Odyssey. In Vol. 3, we finally see the 21st century ushering in optimism and the hope of better things ahead as leaders embarked on programmes of the regeneration of the African continent. The continental body, Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was transformed into the African Union (AU) with institutions and programmes aimed at helping African countries, individually and collectively, to move faster towards regeneration and development.Many countries embraced and applied democratic principles and ethos. Human rights became the rallying mantra for the masses. Economic development and technological advancement remained on the agenda of many countries. An air of renaissance became prevalent across the African continent.And yet, one wonders whether the 2019 headlines, a far cry from the optimism and hope, are a true reflection of a continent that has seem more indecencies of wars, conflicts and rape of resources than any other? Are the headlines a summary of unavoidable pains of birth or rebirth? The author embarked on an effort to capture history, connect the dots and therefore contribute to on-going regeneration efforts of various actors on the African scene. With this detailed and comprehensive scholarly work, the author challenges Africa and Africans to avoid repeating past mistakes. The Swahili adage: Life can be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards, summarises the author's instructive message for Africa, a continent whose might and greatness cannot be denied.

The English botanist William Burchell arrived in Cape Town in June 1811 to explore the flora and fauna of the vast southern African interior. Over a four-year period, and travelling in a custom-built ox wagon, he amassed an astonishing 63 000 specimens of plants, bulbs, insects, reptiles and mammals – many not previously documented for science – as well as over 500 paintings and illustrations. While the outbound trek is well described in Burchell’s famous Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa, little has been published about the challenges and discoveries made on his return journey to Cape Town, from 1812–1815. This pioneering book traces the homeward leg of Burchell’s epic odyssey – through the arid northern Cape, the Great Karoo, the war-ravaged eastern Cape, and along the Eden-like southern Cape coast. Drawing on primary and secondary sources, including Burchell’s letters and the detailed map he created to record his trek, the authors have crafted a thought-provoking and beautifully illustrated account that encompasses both the genius of the man and the natural history of the region that so intrigued him. Sales points: Fills a major gap in what is known of Burchell’s travels in southern Africa; sheds new light on Burchell’s character and his discoveries; contains information, illustrations and watercolours not published before; coincides with the bicentenary of the publication of Vol. 1 of Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa.

"In his latest book, Little Liberia: An African Odyssey in New York, Steinberg takes us to Park Hill Avenue on Staten Island, where a community of Liberians have made their home. Through interviews and shadowing of two community leaders, Steinberg strives to understand the peculiarities of this community; while it appears at times as if a piece of Liberia has been sliced off and dropped in New York, the Park Hill community is ravaged by conflict between different interest groups. To understand what is going on in 2008 New York, Steinberg travels back - back to Liberia and back to the country's tragic recent history of civil war, military coups and mass exterminations. The story of Liberia is a gruesome and miserable one but Steinberg's empathy for his subjects never allows the narrative to descend into voyeurism. The combination of hard nosed investigative journalism, a gift for storytelling and an obvious empathy for the characters that he shadows makes Steinberg an author who demands to be read, whatever the subject matter. A brilliant and important book which will delight Steinberg's thousands of followers and doubtless earn him many more"--Book Lounge.

The author's own experiences have been documented as vividly as possible, to make the narrative of the book more interesting and informative. Readers tend to participate in those experiences and relate to the ambiance and environment that the writer found himself at every point in his travels. In all travels, strange and unfamiliar things could happen, and the inclusion of them were likely to teach some lesson that could be of use, when a traveler personally came across them and to be able to avoid such lesson, if need be. The author has to compare his own demographic status with almost all the people he met through the places he would traverse, and in situations that were sometimes very unfamiliar; for example, the food, particularly the meat, shouldn't be peculiar, as he was used to Beef, Mutton, Fish, Poultry, but not Pork or anything related to it, such as Ham, Bacon, etc. There were times, when he refused to eat the food, because all he was eating was "scrumptious ingredients," he was told. Finances too became problematic, as changing from one currency to another was not easy. The rates would change from one place to another. In Liberia, for example, the author had an argument of why merchants there wouldn't accept the Franc that was used in the Ivory Coast, a neighboring country of Liberia. Hotels would accept one type of currency, but not another, making one to switch from one place to another. Those could be some of the experiences along the way, and one could only learn from them. Socializing also became difficult, because relationships demanded money, like buying someone a drink, and then asking the person to keep one company overnight. There were "services" offered in those places; however, they were not free, and it became arduous to shell out the little money that one had; and if one wasn't careful, all one had could be stolen. Yet, the book, Joe, The Black Ulysses, has been written to far more fascinating, and it made a delightful reading than a few paragraphs about it.
