«Taxi brousse: sulle strade d’Africa» is Marco Aime’s travel essay, published by Stampa Alternativa in paperback (157 pages, in Italian).
The book follows a journey by taxi brousse, the collective transport on African roads, and contrasts the stereotyped image of a continent ravaged by war and hunger with real life: children running around in the dust, parties and dances. Aime questions the West’s use of Africa as an exotic setting and calls for a closer look.
The book was originally published in 1997 and this edition dates from 2001; it belongs to the Eretica series (No. 6) published by Stampa Alternativa.
A book for readers interested in travel and in a critical view of Western clichés about Africa.
