A History of Modern Africa recounts the full breadth of historical events that have shaped the last two centuries of the African continent.

  • Provides a thought-provoking and illuminating journey through the slave trade and colonization to the rise of Islam, struggles for independence, and beyond
  • Puts the colonial era into proper perspective in relation to events that occurred before it and since
  • Wide-ranging in scope, it provides a framework for understanding such events as the genocidal horrors of Rwanda and the recent troubles in Zimbabwe and Kenya

Recenzijos

"A number of introductions to African history aimed at the undergraduate and general reader have appeared in recent years. Reid's text stands out among these as an invaluable teaching-tool due to its concise but appealing tone, its clear style, and its sensitive treatment of Africa's often tumultuous past and contested present-day experiences. This is an excellent introduction to Africa for the student reader." (History, 2010) "This book stands as a remarkable achievement andwill be the choice volume on modern African history for some time to come." (International Affairs, April 2010)
