Condensed, edited Review of Review by Nicolas van de Walle:

[H]is book illustrates the enduring influence of the colonial era: its primary subject is Anglophone Africa, and the material on Francophone and Lusophone Africa is rather perfunctory, reflecting the fact that media and governments in the colonial powers continue to see the continent through the lens of the places their countries used to control.

Nicolas van de Walle, Book Reviewer, Foreign Affairs, Volume 95, Number 5 [September/October 2016 Issue] at 189 on the book, Africa’s Long Road Since Independence: The Many Histories of a Continent, by KEITH SOMERVILLE. Hurst, 2016 500 pp.

Also mentioned: “trenchant analysis of Rwandan genocide” and liberation theology and their aftermaths.

Quotes in main body of this review are condensed from a Book Review by Reviewer Nicolas van de Walle for the Foreign Affairs periodical.

But see, dialectic reasoning, rhetoric; see also, ad hominem attack.

The time to debate Hillary is now.

Time and place restrictions are okay, that’s what churches are for–Gene Simmons

Once in a while, you gotta break the rules and assume the risk of reprisal.

Take the Bradley pitch to Rich Hill of the Dodgers on the Ides of September in Phoenix.  Break the rules, take the heat. This includes prayer as an outlawed or defiant act.

“[If ya gonna do the crime be ready to do the time.]”–Robert Blake as Baretta.

Now I know what it must have felt like, not to want to take part in something one doesn’t want to be a part of and sit on my stoop at home or if heckled, inside my crib.

For instance, I watched Hill of the Dodgers get in a shouting match with Bradley of the Diamondbacks and my blood pressure went up.
