Africa Since 1940: The Past of the Present

by Frederick Cooper

About this title: Frederick Cooper's latest book on the history of decolonization and independence in Africa initiates a new textbook series: New Approaches to African History. This text will help students understand the historical process out of which Africa's current position in the world has emerged. Bridging the divide between colonial and post-colonial history, it allows readers to see just what political independence did and did not signify and how men and women, peasants and workers, religious leaders and local leaders sought to refashion the way they lived, worked, and interacted with each other.

By Damien, Menlo Park, CA

"Like other works by Cooper that I have read, this is a very clearly written book that attempts to rework dominate narratives of African history. This book is unconventional in that it begins in 1940, ostensibly right in the middle of the colonial period. Cooper traces the "development concept" in colonial and post-colonial states, and argues for the "gatekeeper state" as a lens through which to view African states. His points are well taken, and I think that it's very carefully written and strong for a survey-style book."
