Book excerpt: The great movements of modern African history -- imperialism, nationalism, and the revolution of rising expectations -- are vividly presented in this authoritative history. It begins in 1875 when the majority of African peoples still preserved their old-established social and political structures. In the course of the next 60 years virtually the entire continent was brought under European hegemony -- only to be followed by the rise of an African nationalism that all but swept away, in a wave of independent nationhood, the dominions established by the Europeans. Offers a comprehensive account and analysis of this dramatic period.
