The rapidity of the Mohammedan movement in its sweep westward is highly significant. A succession of conquerors came to the front-their names need not bother us-and by 668 what is now Tripoli was a Moslem state. Algeria went down with little resistance and the Arab hordes swept onward to the Pillars of Hercules. The story is told that Akba, who raided Morocco, rode his horse far out into the surf and cried, "Great God, if I were not stopped by this raging sea, I would go to the nations of the west, preaching the unity of they name and putting to the sword those who would not submit."-from Chapter II: "Strongholds of Mohammedanism"When missionary Cornelius Patton returned to Boston from an extended trip to Africa just before World War I, his friends and colleagues assumed he would write a book about his trip. "That," Patton assures us in the "Personal Word" that opens The Lure of Africa, "is exactly what I shall not do." Fortunately, Patton's friends and colleagues prevailed, and in 1917, he published this account of his journey, a lyrical and introspective work that hints at the conflicts this white man abroad on the Dark Continent may have felt. For 21st-century readers, it is a fascinating and unexpected look at a man who found Africa "horribly heathenish but mighty interesting" but nevertheless sought to mold this exotic land into something comfortable and familiar.OF INTEREST TO: students of the history of Christianity in Africa, armchair travelersAUTHOR BIO: American writer CORNELIUS HOWARD PATTON (1860-1939) is also the author of Business of Missions (1924), Eight O'Clock Chapel (1927), and God's Word (1931).

The most intimate and elaborately enhanced addition to the Hemingway Library series: Hemingway’s memoir of his safari across the Serengeti—presented with archival material from the Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Library and with the never-before-published safari journal of Hemingway’s second wife, Pauline Pfeiffer. When it was first published in 1935, The New York Times called Green Hills of Africa, “The best-written story of big-game hunting anywhere,” Hemingway’s evocative account of his safari through East Africa with his wife, Pauline Pfeiffer, captures his fascination with big-game hunting. In examining the grace of the chase and the ferocity of the kill, Hemingway looks inward, seeking to explain the lure of the hunt and the primal undercurrent that comes alive on the plains of Africa. Green Hills of Africa is also an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape and the beauty of a wilderness that was, even then, being threatened by the incursions of man. This new Hemingway Library Edition offers a fresh perspective on Hemingway’s classic travelogue, with a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, the author’s sole surviving son, who spent many years as a professional hunter in East Africa; a new introduction by Seán Hemingway, grandson of the author; and, published for the first time in its entirety, the African journal of Hemingway’s wife, Pauline, which offers an intimate glimpse into thoughts and experiences that shaped her husband’s craft.

This book provides insight to China's foreign policy in Africa through the Belt and Roads Initiative. China's move towards economic expansion has left skeptics questioning her ambition for global economic dominance; to dislodge U.S. global influence: economic, military, and political. African leaders meanwhile find the lack of imposition of conditions on Chinese debt to be attractive, thus view China as a viable alternative business partner over the West. This book focuses on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) investment projects in Africa and how these projects will promote or hamper efforts to bring sustainable development and to bring about national unity. The book is unique because it fills a vacuum in the literature by focusing on important current problems that have contributed to the current African situation. It provides up-to-date analysis of Chinese BRI projects, mineral exploration, democracy, and consumerism as well as their implications for Africa's economic and political development.
