Included in this edition are background essays and statistics for the countries of North Africa, Central Africa, East Africa, South Africa, and West Africa, with a regional essay showing the connection of North Africa to the rest of the continent. This volume features carefully selected world press articles and an annotated list of World Wide Web sites.
This was a very good book, although kinda dated now (from the 90's). Went through the individual histories of almost every country in Africa. Makes me realize how long colonialism and forced labor existed in Africa. Well into the 60's. Anyway, I ill find a more recent edition to keep around.
