Over the last half century, sub-Saharan Africa has not had one history, but many - histories that have intertwined, converged and diverged. While this book examines post-colonial conflicts within and between new states, it also considers the history of the peoples of Africa - their struggle for economic development in the context of harsh local environments and the economic straitjacket into which they were strapped by colonial rule is charted in detail.
