Part of the "Fandex" line, this work is useful for school kids, political junkies, and African Americans.

| Synopsis: |
What do you know of Zimbabwe's glorious 11th-century civilization? The idealistic founding of Liberia and its long-standing democracy? What do you know of apartheid, Timbuktu, the gorillas of Malawi, Rwanda, the slave trade, Congolese rain forests, the Olduvai Gorge? An important addition to the "Fandex" line, "Africa" is the easy, one-hour encyclopaedia for school kids, political junkies, readers intrigued by history and culture, and especially for African Americans. Combining the irresistible, accessible die-cut "Fandex" format, dozens and dozens of full-color illustrations, and the cultural and natural marvels of 54 diverse countries, "Africa" is a wonder-filled addition to the series that has over 3.2 million copies in print. Here is the Asante people's Golden Stool - an object so sacred that, when the British demanded it in 1896, the Asante handed over their chief instead. The Great Man-Made River, one of the world's most ambitious engineering projects to green the desert of Libya. Ethiopia's ancient Solomonic Dynasty, the Zamrock pop music of Zambia, and the real Voodoo. Each card includes vital stats (capital, currency, flag, and languages) and a map on the back. |
