In what ways did economic considerations affect the decision by
Britain and France to make their Black African colonies
independent? Why were early expectations that independence would
lead to rapid and sustained economic development in Africa for the
most part disappointed? This title, originally published in 1986,
seeks to tackle these two important and strongly debated issues.
The main aim and value of the book is to take a broad view of this
huge subject, pulling together material on most parts of Black
Africa south of the Sahara and north of the Limpopo so that the
problem can be seen as a whole. It takes account of a wide range of
possible and actual factors which have influenced African economic
development, weaving them into a single analysis, including the
colonial inheritance, the impact of the fluctuating international
economy, policies adopted by African governments and indigenous
factors such as climate, drought and human resources. The book is
written to be understood without difficulty by non-specialists and
is intended to act as an introduction to its subject for university
students.
