In Africa: Through a Mirror, Saikou Camara acknowledges that the African has been brutalized, dehumanized and depersonalized by legalized colonial supremacy for over 300 years. In spite of all the injustice, as a born proud African, he makes a call to all Africans and people of African descent to come together and build our continent. He walks his readers around the African continent outlining preventable self-inflicting wounds that can be avoided. He shares the history of inaugural African leaders such as Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, and other prominent African leaders, who worked with other Pan-African leaders such as Marcus Garvey. He also goes further to offer applicable solutions to some of the issues affecting the African continent for a way forward.
