In addition it is a crucial resource for students who may be studying modern African history for the first time as part of a taught postgraduate degree in African history, African politics or African studies. New to this Edition:- Revised and updated throughout in light of the latest research- Incorporates recent developments and events- Additional chapters cover Africa in the twenty-first century and examine social and cultural history since independence
