"Nothing should diminish the fundamental value of this resource book for hard-pressed teachers, penniless students and underfunded libraries involved in the study of African history. Here is a ready-made text of readings to splendidly set a teacher on his or her way, and thank the initiative of Robert Collins therefor."
Book Description
This volume covers five hundred years of history, beginning with the writings of travelers Ibn Battuta, Leo Africanus, Mungo Park, Heinrich Barth, René Caillé, and Mary Kingsley, as well as many others. Religious wars are described by chroniclers such as Abd Allah ibn Muhammad and Al-Kanami, Sire Abbas Soh, and Ahmadu Hampate Ba. The Trans-Sahara and Cross-Atlantic slave trade is a central concern of the book and the French and British colonial periods are also scrutinized. Modern times are examined in the texts of Nnamidi Azikiwe, Léopold Senghor, Sékou Touré, and Kwame Nkrumah. Special emphasis is put on original African texts about political traditions, independence movements after WW II, the law, and other themes of social and political history.
