AFRICA - New generations always dream big. Daaf Borren travelled through some 16 countries in Africa, fascinated by their stories. From Mali and Congo to Ethiopia and Mauritania: this is an atypical travel book, in which you not only cover many kilometres, but also travel along to the future.
Western media has a one-sided image of the continent, mostly coloured by a colonial outlook. But today's twentysomethings and thirtysomethings no longer pick up on that and have their own ideas about how to shape the future on their terms.
From Mali and Congo to Ethiopia and Mauritania, this is an atypical travel book about sixteen countries in Africa through the eyes of people in their twenties and thirties.
