Total copies: 1
Subject: These three volumes comprise a comprehensive encyclopedia of African history. It is organized into a series of free-standing essays on specific topics. It takes a broadly African viewpoint of the history of the continent, where this is appropriate, and as far as possible provides the reader with a reliable, up-to-date view of the current state of scholarship on the full range of African history. Where debates and controversies occur, these are indicated and discussed. As far as possible, this book takes the history of Africa up to the present, at least to the opening years of the twenty-first century. It is arranged in an accessible A-Z format. Essay titles are organized for easy reference into composite articles on the major regions, states, themes, societies, and individuals of African history, and in chronological order. Cross-referencing also guides readers to related entries. It includes an extensive range of maps.
