African History: A Very Short Introduction by John Parker, Richard Rathbone

4.0

In the process of learning how to define African History (which is what this book is about), much African History is learned. What is the continent approach used for European history? Rulers. The very thing not so easily done in Africa. Africa needs to be respected for its diversity and not condescendingly generalized. Good summary of approaches and contexts.
