African Perspectives on Colonialism

by A. Adu Boahen

Book Overview

This history deals with the twenty-year period between 1880 and 1900, when virtually all of Africa was seized and occupied by the Imperial Powers of Europe. Eurocentric points of view have dominated the study of this era, but in this book, one of Africa's leading historians reinterprets the colonial experiences from the perspective of the colonized.

Fantastic

Boahen gives the reader a great account of Africa and the effects of colonialism. Instead of the traditional Eurocentric view, we see an African perspective which proves to be eye-opening and insightful. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed.
