Great antidote to the Eurocentric academic idea that Africans were passive in colonialism, explaining how Africans opposed colonialism peacfully, rhetorically, and violently. Also good explanations on how European powers exploited the continent for its natural resources - although could have done with more detail on exactly how this was managed and administrated. ( ) The best book I read in my undergraduate African Civilizations course. For a short book, it's completely packed with great information, some of which has been heard before in general history classes, most of which has not. The information is presented in a very nuanced fashion, including both sides of any arguments. The author's writing is fairly easy to read and absorb, and I'm hoping this text is widely used in courses on African history. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la série
This history deals with the twenty-year period between 1880 and 1900, when virtually all of Africa was seized and occupied by the Imperial Powers of Europe. Eurocentric points of view have dominated the study of this era, but in this book, one of Africa's leading historians reinterprets the colonial experiences from the perspective of the colonized.
