The new edition of this comprehensive survey of African history
provides an accessible overview of the continent’s narrative,
focusing on the autonomy and achievements of the African people.
The book brings readers closer to an authentic Africa by paying
close attention to the lives of everyday people and highlighting
insights and ideas that are often missed in typical survey texts.
The fourth edition offers expanded coverage of smaller linguistic
and ethnic groups in Africa in order to provide a more inclusive
history, noting a few individual groups while also analyzing their
contributions to the overall narrative and African culture.
Liberia’s hidden history is given greater attention in this
updated volume, as well as the ethnic and religious tensions in
Nigeria and Sudan. While the book emphasizes that African history
is always being made, the fourth edition brings the record up to
date and grapples with contemporary issues in culture and politics.
The History of Africa is an indispensable text for students and
researchers in African history, cultural studies, philosophy, and
politics.
