Economic History of West Africa

"This pioneering and celebrated work was the first, and remains the standard, account of the economic history of the huge area known as West Africa. This edition contains a substantial new Introduction that discusses the development of the subject in the past 50 years, evaluates the debate over the original interpretation, and provides a valuable guide to further reading. Appearing at a time when African economic history is enjoying a revival and engaging economists as well as historians, it fills a large gap in African studies, provides newcomers with a stimulating point of entry into the subject, and contributes to our understanding of wider issues of global underdevelopment"--
