"Bordering seven other countries, Niger is a landlocked nation in the heart of western Africa. Due to economic troubles, frequent civil wars and disruption of the government, and other problems, poverty is a major issue throughout the country. Nevertheless, Niger is a land of rich history and vibrant culture. Readers will find out what life is like for the people of Niger, from what they learn in school and what people do for work to what they like to eat and what kind of art they create."--Amazon.com
