African history : a very short introduction
"Until recently, Africa was seen by the outside world as being without history, a continent left behind in the wider story of human progress. But our understanding of the African past is very different today. This Very Short Introduction examines the changing ways in which African history has been understood and represented by historians and by Africans themselves. Examples drawn from across the continent and from the African diaspora beyond are used to examine key themes, from the diversity of African cultures, religions, and identities, to the slave trade, Africa's place in the world, and the rise and fall of colonial rule."--Jacket
