About the Book

The Africa Quiz Book includes questions that are interesting as well as educational. The questions had been carefully compiled from material found in the author’s own book collection, research materials and various primary sources. There are two questions on each page and the answers along with sources of information and additional explanatory notes are printed on the back each page. The quiz questions are about Africa’s physical and cultural geography, places as diverse and unique as the Pyramids of Egypt and the rock-hewn Churches of Ethiopia, Africa’s Nobel Laureates and  Gorée Island and the Slave Trade as told by Joseph Boubacar Ndiaye, the primary curator of the "Maison des Eslaves" (House of Slaves), located on Gorée Island.  Gorée Island is located 2 miles off the coast of Senegal, which is the westerly most country in Africa.
