For years Dayo Olopade struggled to reconcile the American media's image of Africa as warring, impoverished and pitiful with the Africa she's known since childhood: resilient, joyful and innovative, a continent of impassioned community leaders. In 'The Bright Continent' she joins the conversation started by authors such as Jeffrey Sachs, Nicholas Kristof and Dambisa Moyo by rejecting stale and ineffectual foreign interventions, arguing that the increasingly globalized challenges the continent faces can and must be addressed with the tools Africans are already using to solve these problems themselves.
