These works could be utilized for reports in Social Studies &world geography classes or for teachers to use for text analysis within the Common Core curriculum. AFRICA IS A COMPLEX & DIVERSE CONTINENT, AND ITS MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES provide a study in contrasts: democracy & despotism, immense wealth and crushing poverty, modernism and traditionalism, peaceful communities & raging civil wars. The books take a close look at many of the major issues in Africa today, such as AIDS, poverty, government corruption, ethnic & religious tension, educational opportunities, and overcrowding. ”
