Afro Sport is both a beautiful piece of design and a brave attempt to reclaim what sport means to African audiences. Stories range from the inescapable football and basketball, to the perhaps more niche drifting, and it’s worth buying for the explanations of beautiful African football club logos alone. A follow up to 2021’s more focused, and equally gorgeous, Afro Surf, and resolutely pan-African in execution, the book delights and informs in equal measure.
