  • "Vol. 8 covers the period 1940-1975. Begins with a discussion of the role of the Second World War in the political decolonization of Africa and ends in1975 with the retreat of Portugal, the last European colonial power in Africa, from its possessions and their accession to independence. Examines on both a continental and regional scale the extent to which formal transfer of political power by the European colonial rulers also involved economic, social and cultural decolonization."@en
  • "Vol. 3 describes the era in which Iron Age cultures passed from their early and experimental phases into stages of maturity characterized by long-distance trade and complex, many-tiered political systems. In Egypt and North Africa it was a period of religious and cultural consolidation when the Arabic language and the faith of Islam were adopted by the majority of the indigenous Copts and Berbers. In the sub-Saharan Savanna it was a period rather of penetration when Muslim merchants and clerics built up small but significant minorities of Negro African converts."@en
  • "Vol. 1 surveys African prehistory from the time of the first hominids in the Plio-Pleistone up to the spread of iron technology after ca. 500 B.C. Vol. 2 deals with the beginnings of history from about 500 B.C. when historical sources begin to embrace all Africa north of the Sahara to A.D. 1050 when documentation is also beginning to appear for parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Describes Africa's interaction with Phoenician, Greek, Roman and Arab cultures."@en
  • "Vol. 4 looks at the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Africa, which were a period of transition, with the trade in slaves and firearms on the Atlantic coast laying some of the foundations for European colonialism. Vol. 5 begins with the emergence of anti-slave trade attitudes in Europe, and ends on the eve of European colonial conquest. Except for white conquests in Algeria and South Africa, and colonies of free Blacks on the west coast, the theme is that of African independence, initiative and adaptation in the last phase of its pre-colonial history."@en
