Produktbeschreibung

By 1905 most of Africa had been subjected to European rule; in the 1940s the colonial regimes faced widespread opposition. Yet the period surveyed in this volume was no mere interlude of enforced quiescence. Many Africans suffered greatly in the First World War and in the world depression of the 1930s. By 1940 a majority of Africans were either Muslim or Christian. By the Second World War, most colonial regimes confronted not only the criticisms of literate Africans but organized protest among wage-earners and farmers.
