Africa Is a Country offers a critical perspective on various social, political, and cultural issues affecting Africa that push back on continental legacies of colonialism and exploitation. Our editorial viewpoint emphasizes the complexity and diversity of African experiences, challenging stereotypes and simplistic narratives. Our work highlights local voices and perspectives, focusing on contemporary issues in politics, economics, and culture, as well as the usable past. We often engage with broader global discourses while remaining rooted in specific African contexts, advocating for nuanced discussions that reflect the realities of life in Africa.
