A History of Modern Africa recounts the full breadth of the last two centuries of African history. Author Richard Reid takes us on a thought–provoking and illuminating journey through the slave trade and colonization to the rise of Islam, struggles for independence, and beyond. Readers will see how Africa′s rich diversity began to re–emerge during the post–colonial era and discover the contrasting periods of despair and hope that emerged with it: the comforting dullness of Botswana and genocidal horrors of Rwanda; the bureaucratic routine of Ghanaian elections and violent political upheavals of Zimbabwe. Throughout these landmark events, Reid is ever sensitive to the richness and variety of Africa′s people and societies, cultures, and cosmology. A History of Modern Africa is an essential recounting of the turning points of Africa′s past and the myriad strands of African culture that will shape its future.
