History of Africa
Fage moved to the University of Birmingham in 1963 to establish the Centre of West African Studies (CWAS) which he directed for over twenty years. African studies expanded rapidly in the United Kingdom at the same time, and Fage became one of the founding members of the African Studies Association of the United Kingdom (ASAUK) in which he served as president (1968–69) before being elected an honorary member. Fage and Oliver were also general editors of "The Cambridge History of Africa" (1975–86) and Fage also co-edited the "General History of Africa" (1981–93) published by UNESCO. Fage also published "A History of Africa" (1978).
