A revised edition of Africa North of the Limpopo: the Imperial Experience since 1800, North of the Limpopo does not end with the passing of the formal imperial era, but goes beyond this to take in the situation in independent Africa after the withdrawal of the colonial powers. Throughout the book the authors have striven to achieve a balance between European activity and African initiatives and responses in Africa. Part 1 of this book covers events in Africa to the end of the partitioning period, which almost coincides with the end of the nineteenth century. Part 2 deals with events in the twentieth century. Like the previous edition, this is a textbook for South African students, but contains little on South African history, as the title indicates.

This thorough yet accessible text help readers to understand key concepts, recognize significant themes, and identify the processes that shaped the modern history of Africa. Emphasis is placed on the consequences of colonial rule, and the links between the precolonial and postcolonial eras. Author Richard Reid, a prominent scholar and historian on the subject, argues that Africa’s struggle for economic and political stability in the nineteenth century escalated and intensified through the twentieth century, the effects of which are still felt in the present day. The new third edition offers substantial updates and revisions that consider recent events and historiography. Greater emphasis is placed on African agency, particularly during the colonial period, and the importance of the long-term militarization of African political culture. Discussions of the postcolonial period have been updated to reflect recent developments, including those in North Africa. Adopting a long-term approach to current African issues, this text: Explores the legacies of the nineteenth century and the colonial period in the context of the contemporary era Highlights the role of nineteenth century and long-term internal dynamics in Africa’s modern challenges Combines recent scholarship with concise and effective narrative Features maps, illustrations, expanded references, and comprehensive endnotes A History of Modern Africa: 1800 to the Present, 3rd Edition is an excellent introduction to the subject for undergraduate students in relevant courses, and for general readers with interest in modern African history and current affairs.
