The Bright Continent

The Bright Continent: How African Ideas Are Changing the World offers a counterintuitive look at Africa and at innovation. It will demonstrate how the regional tradition of resourcefulness, creativity, and “making do”—combined with the recent explosion in communications and other technologies—transforms the continent’s problems into teachable moments in health, energy, education, media, justice and more.

The Bright Continent is slated for publication in 2012 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
