Africa Is a Country Logo

*Not the continent with 55 countries

Africa Is a Country offers a critical perspective on various social, political, and cultural issues that effect the African continent. Our editorial viewpoint, written from an African left perspective, pushes back on continental legacies of colonialism and exploitation, emphasizes the complexity and diversity of African experiences, and centers socially-marginalized voices. We often engage with global conversations, touching on trends in economics, technology, music, sport, and visual arts, as well lessons from the usable past.
