A History of Modern Africa: 1800 to the Present
"A number of introductions to African history aimed at the undergraduate and general reader have appeared in recent years. Reid's text stands out among these as an invaluable teaching-tool due to its concise but appealing tone, its clear style, and its sensitive treatment of Africa's often tumultuous past and contested present-day experiences. This is an excellent introduction to Africa for the student reader." (History,2010)"This book stands as a remarkable achievement andwill be the choice volume on modern African history for some time to come." (International Affairs, April 2010)
