Africa: An Introduction invites you into Africa: a continent rich
with culture and history, with diverse populations stretching from
the dense tropical rain forest of the Congo basin, right up to the
Sahara Desert in the north, and down to the Mediterranean climates
of the far south. Containing fifty-five countries, and covering
over 20 percent of the world's landmass, Africa is the birthplace
of humanity, yet the image of Africa in the West is often negative,
that of a continent riddled with endemic problems. This accessible
and engaging guide to the African continent guides the reader
through the history, geography, and politics of Africa. It ranges
from the impact of slavery and imperialism through to the rise of
African nationalism and the achievement of independence, and up to
the present moment. Key topics covered include literature, art,
technology, religion, the condition of African women, health,
education, and the mounting environmental concerns faced by African
people. As Africa moves beyond the painful legacies of slavery and
imperialism, this book provides an engaging, uplifting, and
accessible introduction to a rapidly modernizing and diverse
continent. Suitable for high school and undergraduate students
studying Africa, this book will also serve as the perfect
introduction for anyone looking to understand the history of Africa
and the Africa of today.
