Roland Oliver and Anthony Atmore chart the continent's complex trajectory through the final era of pre-colonial kingdoms, the violent disruptions of the slave trade, the imposition of European imperial rule, and the dramatic rise of nationalist movements that reshaped the modern map of Africa. Written with clarity and scholarly precision, the narrative brings to life the diverse peoples, polities, and power struggles that defined an era, arguing persuasively that African agency — not merely European intervention — was central to the shaping of the continent's destiny.\n\nOliver and Atmore, two of the most distinguished African historians of the twentieth century, bring an unparalleled depth of expertise to this landmark work, which has long been regarded as an essential text for students and general readers alike. Their prose is measured yet vivid, anchoring broad historical forces in the lived realities of African societies. This second edition refines and expands upon the original, incorporating updated scholarship that further illuminates the enduring tensions between tradition and modernity, sovereignty and colonialism — leaving the reader to wonder how deeply those fault lines continue to shape the Africa of today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336821514459,"sku":"2026200016436-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/05c4d45d-990d-4c76-8b36-0aa550d6dbaf.png?v=1789958966","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016436-secondhand-africa-since-1800-second-edition","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
