  • Reviews
Counteracts the misconception of Africa having no history before colonisation.

Eminent historian A. Adu Boahen gives an African perspective on colonialism.

A. ADU BOAHEN was Professor Emeritus of History, University of Ghana (Legon), fellow of the Ghana Academy of Arts & Sciences

NorthAmerica: The Johns Hopkins University Press
"Here is the story from the other side: it serves as a needed corrective to the ubiquitous Eurocentric point of view....the extraordinary myth...that Africa has no history." THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
"Boahen's interpretation is not only interesting in itself, but also constitutes a significant document in the intellectual history of Africa, a statement of what Africans in the mid-1980s think about their colonial past. -" Philip D. Curtin, The Johns Hopkins University
