«Afrikanische Totenklage» is the historical-political essay by Peter Scholl-Latour, published by Goldmann in paperback (539 pages, in German).
The author analyses the crisis of sub-Saharan Africa at the beginning of the 21st century: the Rwandan genocide, the Ethiopian famine and the diamond war in Sierra Leone. Scholl-Latour examines the political, economic and social causes of the chaos, points to those responsible and offers a critique of the rest of the world's indifference towards the continent.
The work bears the subtitle «Der Ausverkauf des Schwarzen Kontinents»; its first German edition appeared in 2001.
It will interest readers of African history and politics and those who follow the journalistic work of Peter Scholl-Latour.
Peter Roman Scholl-Latour was a French-German journalist, author and reporter. Scholl-Latour was regarded as one of Europe's most important journalists, akin to what Walter Cronkite was in the US. For over six decades, he was one of the continent's most influential voices. During the Vietnam War, he was captured by the Viet Cong and managed to secure unique film footage during his captivity.
