African Perspectives on European Colonialism

In this book one of the pioneers of twentieth century African history examines the perceptions and responses of Africans to European colonialism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This edition of Boahens text originally published in 1989 is contextualized in a new foreword by John Lonsdale updating some of Boahens findings and interpretations while maintaining that the best totally unambiguous legacy of this republication would surely be the inspiration of a new generation of African scholars locally based as clear-minded and outspoken as Adu Boahen himself.
