Published in 1967, as newly independent African nations were reshaping the continent, Africa Since 1800 traces the political and economic changes behind that moment. Roland Oliver and Anthony Atmore examine African societies before European partition, the expansion of colonial rule, and the movements toward independence.
The book became a long-running Cambridge history, revised through successive editions. This original edition preserves its authors’ perspective from the first decade of widespread African independence.
This copy belonged to Doane Perry and carries his name and “Meadowbrook” in orange ink on the half-title—a visible connection to the collection from which it came.
