For most of its history, the African continent has witnessed
momentous political change, remarkable philosophical innovation,
and the complex cross-fertilization of ideologies and belief
systems. This definitive study surveys the concepts, values, and
historical upheavals that have shaped African political systems
from the ancient period to the postcolonial era and beyond.
Beginning with the emergence of indigenous political institutions,
it traces the most important developments in African history,
including the Africanization of Islam, liberal democratic
movements, socialism, Pan-Africanism, and Africanist-Populist
resistance to the neoliberal world order. The result is an
invaluable resource on a region too often ignored in the history of
political thought.
