Directed to from BoingBoing...:
Always use the word 'Africa' or 'Darkness' or
'Safari' in your title. Subtitles may include the words 'Zanzibar',
'Masai', 'Zulu', 'Zambezi', 'Congo', 'Nile', 'Big', 'Sky', 'Shadow',
'Drum', 'Sun' or 'Bygone'. Also useful are words such as 'Guerrillas',
'Timeless', 'Primordial' and 'Tribal'. Note that 'People' means
Africans who are not black, while 'The People' means black Africans.
Never
have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or
in it, unless that African has won the Nobel Prize. An AK-47, prominent
ribs, naked breasts: use these. If you must include an African, make
sure you get one in Masai or Zulu or Dogon dress.
