Book Description:
|
For a year in the early 1990s, Peter Chilson traveled across Niger by automobile to experience West African road culture. In this compelling story, he uses the road not to reinforce Africa's worn image of decay and corruption but to reveal how people endure political and economic chaos, poverty, and disease.
