Africa: Angry Young Giant is a non-fiction book written by George W. Hempstone and published in 1967. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the political, economic, and social conditions of Africa during the post-colonial era. Hempstone argues that Africa is an angry young giant due to its struggle for independence and the challenges it faces in building stable and prosperous nations. The book covers a range of topics, including the impact of colonialism on African societies, the rise of nationalism and independence movements, the challenges of nation-building, and the role of external forces such as the Cold War and international aid. Hempstone also examines the political and economic systems of various African countries and their struggles with corruption, tribalism, and poverty. Throughout the book, Hempstone provides detailed case studies of African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, and Kenya, offering a nuanced and insightful analysis of their unique histories and challenges. He also provides a critical evaluation of the role of Western powers in Africa, arguing that their policies have often been misguided and exploitative. Overall, Africa: Angry Young Giant is a thought-provoking and informative book that provides a valuable perspective on the challenges facing Africa in the post-colonial era. It remains a relevant and insightful read for anyone interested in African politics, history, and development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
