Africa 2009

The year 2009 will be remembered as the one when Barack Obama, 47-old the son of a Kenyan father from a small town near Lake Victoria, was sworn in as President of the United States. It shifted the focus to the real Africa instead of the distorted images of the past. AFRICA 2009, produced by Business Books International in cooperation with the prestigious Washington-based Corporate Council on Africa provides detail not only about Kenya but Africa's other 52 nations--their history, economy, politics, business potential, tourist attractions and more. Editorial is supplemented with color maps, charts and pictures. AFRICA 2009 is the ninth in the series of yearbooks strongly recommended by the American library association as an "excellent, inexpensive source" for libraries. The Editor-in-Chief of CNBC Africa report described the yearbook as "a reliable source of information" for its TV programs and Business in Africa magazine called it a roadmap to opening the Continent."
