Description

Africa since 1800 by Roland Oliver and Anthony Atmore is a comprehensive introduction to the modern history of Africa. First published in 1965, this fifth revised edition brings the story up to the middle of 2003, reflecting significant global shifts following the end of the Cold War and the events of September 11, 2001. The book explores key themes such as demographic trends, which are increasingly important in understanding many African problems, and the impact of diseases like AIDS and malaria. It also examines conflicts over resources and control, shaped by warlords' struggles for power. This edition provides a detailed account of Africa's complex history from the mid-19th century to the present day. With its broad scope and engaging narrative, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in modern African history.
