Why is Africa still perceived as a country when there are around 2,000 languages spoken on the continent alone?

It's a Continent aims to counter the misconception that Africa is a country by breaking down this vast, beautiful and complex continent into regions and countries. Each of the 54 African countries has a unique history and culture and this audiobook highlights the key historical moments that have shaped each nation and contributed to its global position, as well as within the African continent.

Each chapter (focusing on a different country) of the audiobook brings to light stories and African figures that have been marginalised in mainstream education, in a humorous and easily digestible way, breaking down facts and events that you wouldn't believe happened.

Why is the Liberian flag so similar to the Stars and Stripes of the United States? Have you heard about Thomas Sankara's quest for Burkina Faso's self-sufficiency? African soldiers' contribution to World War II?

There are many aspects of history that mainstream education doesn't address and this audiobook allows the listener to understand the consequences of historical colonial activities within the African continent, and how many African countries continue to re-build. The majority of countries within the continent are young, not just in population but in age, as many only gained independence in the 20th century. It's a Continent is the bold and brilliant audiobook for listeners who want to gain an understanding of things you were never taught in school.

The book is split into a series of short historical stories, one for each country in Africa.
It’s not the best written book I’ve ever seen and the reading is a little dry but overall a very informative collection of history that just isn’t taught in the western world.
I would still recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about African history

A reasonably well told collection of historical events
