• catalog abstract ""It is generally recognised among those who are concerned with Africa that the current plight of the continent is approaching the catastrophic. Partly the roots of the problem are historical, stemming from the exploitation and colonisation of the continent by European powers, and from the legacy of perceived superiority that has resulted from efforts towards self-justification on the part of colonising nations. An appreciation of the history of the relationship between Europe and Africa is indispensable to an understanding of the continent's present predicament. Readers of this book will no longer be in any doubt about the nature of European colonialism in Africa and the lasting consequences of what is known as the 'Scramble for Africa', one of the darkest episodes in colonial history."--BOOK JACKET.".
