This book spans two thousand years from the origins of domesticated food production to the third decade of the independence era. The author applies various theoretical perspectives to the two main themes of internal development and external dependency, with an emphasis on the continuous growth of domestic African economic capacities accompanied by an ever-increasing engagement with the international economy.
