An economic history of West Africa

by A.G. Hopkins

Available for the first time since late 1986, this work has been reissued in response to continuing demand. It is considered the standard account of the economic history of the huge area conventionally known as West Africa. Many of the conventional beliefs about economic backwardness are examined and found instead, an altenative set of explanations is advanced which takes account of recent research in history, economics, anhtropology and geography.
