| Publisher Description: This book is designed to inform, engage, and stimulate discussions among its readers. Collins and his collaborators have included authoritative statements and analysis by renowned scholars. A distinctive characteristic of the whole anthology is the range of interpretations of classic and recent research. The book offers a full spectrum of emotionally charged theories. Each section presents a set of conflicting arguments to show the state of debates on these highly controversial issues. Extensive commentary by the editors leads the reader through this treasury of theories and dramatically highlights the development of the field. Now extensively revised and updated by James M. Burns, this volume, part of a fascinating series, includes new documents and contributors and divided into six parts covering the following topics: - The partition of Africa - Colonial rule in Africa - Colonial rule and ethnic identity - Colonialism and the African environment - African nationalism - "Exploitation or development?" |
