African History by Africans

This impressive history of 20th-century Africa is to be commended for bringing together many of the leading African historians to present postcolonial developments from their perspectives. The African historians contributing to the volume are: Ali A. Mazrui (Kenya) T. Chenntouf (Algeria) M. Diop (Senegal) D.T. Niane (Senegal) A. Adu Boahen (Ghana) E. M'Bokolo (Zaire) L. Rabearimanana (Madagascar) I.N. Kimambo (Tanzania) D. Chanaiwa (Zimbabwe) M. Owusu (Ghana) P. Kipre (Cote d'Ivoire) A. Adedeji (Nigeria) J.I. Elaigwu (Nigeria) J. Ki-Zerbo (Burkina Faso) C. Wondji (Cote d'Ivoire) T. Tshibangu (Zaire) J.F. Ade Ajayi (Nigeria) L. Sanneh (Gambia) M.H. Abdulaziz (Kenya) As explained in the introduction by Professor Mazrui, the work presents a conceptual overview of the recent African experience, focusing on three aspects: liberation, state formation, and nation-building. Emphasis is placed on the disastrous consequences, extending to the present day, of European colonialism and imperialism in Africa. You will not find here a detailed account of political parties, presidents, and events in each particular country. I recommend the hardcover edition, which is sturdy and handsome, and which you will want to keep in your permanent library.
