There have been few more remarkable events than the European
colonisation and decolonisation of Africa. Often within a single
lifespan countries were conquered, reorganised, settled and then
granted independence. Colonial Africa (1984) examines the impact
this had on the landscape of Africa. The period of colonial contact
between Europe and Africa had been lengthy, beginning in the early
fifteenth century; yet for much of the continent the colonial
period was relatively short, from the 1880s to the 1960s. European
intervention in the nineteenth century was motivated by new demands
of the European economy, resulting in the conquest of virtually the
entire continent. As a result various groups of colonists arrived
in Africa and each tried to impose a particular imprint upon the
landscape. The colonial powers each had their own styles which are
most evident in the architecture bequeathed to independent Africa.
This is a clear account of the way that historical attitudes have
dictated the appearance and geography of modern Africa.
