Title: This book is ripe with good ideas but is extremely cryptic
Review: This book was intelligently written -- too intelligently. In fact, I found it unintelligible the first time through. After reading Ake, I was looking forward to reading Soyinka's lectures. To my disappointment, they weren't lectures. They were sermons delivered to a room full of PhDs. If you already know a good deal about Africa and are not afraid to have to read a book two or three times, then this book has some interesting ideas.
