Additionally, we talk about the collapse of the native fish species there due to exploitation and their impacts on the native peoples. In addition to his latest book, Mark has written about and broadcasts on Africa for the BBC World Service, Slate, the Royal African Society, South Africa’s Mail & Guardian, and Roads & Kingdoms. He also authored the West Africa travelogue The Ringtone and the Drum and the satirical novel African Beauty.
