Cambridge [England] ; New York: Cambridge University Press. Textbook Paperback. 0521338867 Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. Bibliography: p. [200]-205. Includes index. Francophone sub-Saharan Africa covers nearly 40 per cent of the African continent. It includes over 100 million people in seventeen nations from Senegal in West Africa to Zaire in Central Africa. This book introduces the student to the history of these nations during the past century. It includes chapters on economic and social history, on government and politics and on culture and religion. Events are ^viewed from the perspective of the people of the area, but the author also weaves into the story the European heritage of France and Belgium, the rich heritage of Africa and the worldwide forces of colonialism and capitalism. The outstanding result of these diverse influences is the emergence of a vibrant francophone African culture whose contributions in literature, art and philosophy have become widely influential. Particular features of the book are its integrated treatment of colonial and post-colonial history, its emphasis on social and cultural history and its focus on cities. 228 pages.
