Review Quotes:
"Africa Since 1945 provides readers with a wide ranging, topical account of selected continental issues since the end of World War II. Based on a wide array of primary and secondary sources, the book details the experience of governance, economic dependency, and varied social issues from an African perspective. These enhance knowledge of the continent's history as well as provide insightful discussions of current issues and challenges, such as health conditions, terrorism, continued exploitation of African resources by non-African actors, and civil strife. Framed within the context of globalization past and present, the book is recommended as a text for university students and for those readers seeking an enhanced understanding of Modern Africa."
