This is one of two shelving units for my cookbooks. Both are jammed. What is the reasonable response to running out of space? Certainly not culling.
It is to ask my husband to put shelving on his weekend to-do list. 😜
so-soSlow, and quite difficult in parts to follow, but some really interesting sections, this fictionalised account of an African dictator makes me feel as if I need to learn more about actual modern African history. #roll100
One of the main points of this book is that the rise of modernity was built on Africa and Africans. A very serious, multi-faceted, and well-written argument, but I keep being reminded of the British Things song from Horrible Histories, which makes a sort-of similar basic point in a vastly different tone (and complexity level). But seriously, I am enjoying the book, earworms aside. https://youtu.be/sb56cMQEflA?si=YpzOCmbGrxceB6m0
A disturbing but honest book
