ReadersMagnet Displayed Dr. Joseph B. Rukanshagiza’s Political Book at the 2023 London Book Fair

“The African Question: Problems and the Future of the Continent” by Dr. Joseph B. Rukanshagiza was displayed by self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at the 2023 London Book Fair. The book trade fair occurred at Olympia London, London, UK, on April 18-20, 2023.

The London Book Fair is a book publishing trade fair that aims to include a variety of content formats and promote links between publishing and other related creative industries. The book trade fair serves as a venue for authors to connect with their readers and for publishing experts to expand their viewpoints on the creative industry.

According to Dr. Rukanshagiza’s book, Africa’s political issues can be traced back to the establishment of African states. The argument is that these states are artificial, not only in their physical boundaries but also in how people perceive them. “The African Question” poses thought-provoking questions that make readers think deeply about Africa’s issues. It argues that the impact of colonialism must be considered to fully address Africa’s economic, political, and social problems.

Dr. Joseph B. Rukanshagiza explained that not bringing colonialism into the discussion is to ignore history because it created African states and shaped them the way they are today. Through his informative book, Dr. Rukanshagiza presents a scholarly analysis of Africa’s present political, economic, and social state. The book examines why African nations have not been able to come together as one entity, despite the efforts of nationalist leaders before gaining independence.

“The African Question: Problems and the Future of the Continent” by Dr. Joseph B. Rukanshagiza will provide readers with new and relevant insights into Africa’s political problems. It is an insightful educational material, especially for those studying and writing about the influence of centuries of colonial rule. Readers may grab a copy of the book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ReadersMagnet Bookstore.
