A Message from Tukufu
The journey to create AFRICA AND THE WORLD began several years ago when I interviewed my father about our family history just prior to his death. The discovery that his grandfather came from “somewhere in Africa” (my father didn’t know where) fueled my desire to understand on a deeper and more personal level the continent I have studied most of academic life.
Blending a personal quest with a scholarly vision and understanding, I hope to place the people and events of modern Africa within their full historical and social context.
Peace,
Tukufu
