Summary: A compelling multimedia tool that vividly captures the vitality and immediacy of life in contemporary Africa. Each window features a unique aspect of African culture--art, music, religion, urban life, and politics--and opens a spectacular range of local events from the perspective of the participants. Guided by the individual research experiences of the five authors, this interactive CD-ROM conveys a firsthand sense of discovery while bringing African peoples and cultures into focus
