Sounds of Sirens: Essays in African Politics & Culture critically examines the political and cultural landscape of the putatively primal continent since the advent of the post-colonial era. It is a scholarly but non-academic critique, thus rendering its contents readily accessible to the general reader. In the final analysis, Okoampa-Ahoofe concludes that there is an urgent need for altruistic and constructive leadership on the continent, in order to promptly lift Africa out of the raging morass of abject materialism and crass corruption in official circles. 3
