Colonial rule shaped the map of Africa like no other event in
history. New borders were delineated; explorers and colonial armies
were getting into the interior of the continent in order to grab
the "magnificent cake of Africa." Colonialism on the Margins of
Africa examines less known and smaller or peripheral areas of
Africa which played a significant role in the process of
colonization of Africa by European powers. Due to diverse
socio-economic, religious, ethno-linguistic, as well as political
factors, places like the Somali-speaking territories, the Gambia,
or Swaziland were divided between or surrounded by various
administrative and political systems with different economic
opportunities shaping the way to different futures in the
post-colonial period. This book will be of interest to students and
scholars of African history and colonial and postcolonial politics.
