Warm, funny, biting and essential reading. -- Adam Rutherford, author of How To Argue With A Racist A necessary book that deserves its place in the canon as essential reading. -- Sally Hayden * Irish Times * For curious minds... a truly revelatory read. Faloyin writes with humour...well-researched...it's a book that will stay with you long after you've finished - and one that opens a new chapter on the way you'll think about Africa. * Mail on Sunday, *Summer Reads of 2022* * Imposed on 54 diverse countries, it's a stereotype Faloyin is bent on examining and demolishing, a task he carries out with verve... Impossible not to relish. * New York Times * Hilarious, ferocious, generous and convincing. -- Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland and Butler to the World
