An Economic History of Development in sub-Saharan Africa: Economic Transformations and Political Changes

‘This is a desperately needed book. It not only surveys the field of African economic history at the level of undergraduate students, but provides several fresh perspectives, drawing on insights from the latest research on the evolution of African societies and their economic prosperity. This valuable source of teaching material will be the premier text on African economic history for at least the next decade.’
—Johan Fourie, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
