Author: Paul Nugent

An indispensable introductory textbook that provides students with a genuinely comparative study of the different trajectories and experiences of independent African states. Paul Nugent explores a range of key concerns including the impact of HIV and AIDS, the contagion of warfare, and efforts at achieving national reconciliation both in the past and today.

This is an ideal core text for modules on Modern African History, African Politics or Africa since Independence – or a supplementary text for broader modules on African History – which may be offered at the upper levels of an undergraduate History, Politics or African Studies degree. In addition it is a crucial resource for students who may be studying modern African history for the first time as part of a taught postgraduate degree in African History, African Politics or African Studies.

New to this Edition:
– Revised and updated throughout in light of the latest research
