I love reading the book

[John E · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well written overview of the whole continent. Each chronological period is subdivided into North, West, Central, East, and South areas. Overall a good introduction to the rise and fall of European imperialism in Africa.

whatever it was, it's not as important as Dr. Samatar's awesome griot stories.

Great reference book but not something to relax by the fire and read. Buy it if you have an academic reason to purchase it but other than that, don't bother.
