Book Plug - African Friends and Money Matters



From the blub:

“African Friends and Money Matters grew out of frustrations that Westerners experience when they travel and work in Africa. Africans have just as many frustrations relating to the Westerners in their midst. Each uses and manages money and other resources in very different ways, and these differences create many misunderstandings and frictions.
The author deals with everyday life in Africa. He first introduces the very different goals of African and Western Economic systems and then presents ninety observations of African behaviors related to money matters?. Explanatory comments are given hat show how each one works out in real life. he illustrates his and others’ experience”s with anecdotes from across the continent. Drawings by two African artists add further clarity to the text as they capture Africans and Westerners in authentic situations. The result is that the reader is able to make sense of customs that at first seem incomprehensible.”

Life death and money are all very much in-your-face in this great continent. If you want to understand or help or befriend then this is a resource not to miss. The book is available from most online book retailers.
