In 1870 barely one tenth of Africa was under European control. By 1914 only about one tenth Abyssinia (Ethiopia) & Liberia was not. This book offers a clear & concise account of the scramble or race for Africa the period of around 20 years during which European powers carved up the continent with little or no consultation of its inhabitants. In her classic overview M.E. Chamberlain: * Contrasts the Victorian image of Africa with what we now know of African civilisation & history* Examines in detail case histories from Egypt to Zimbabwe* Argues that the history & background of Africa are as important as European politics & diplomacy in understanding the scramble * Considers the historiography of the topic taking into account Marxist & anti-Marxist financial economic political & strategic theories of European imperialism This indispensible introduction now in a fully updated third edition provides the most accessible survey of the scramble for Africa currently available. The new edition

Includes:: primary source material unpublished elsewhere new illustrations & additional pedagogical features. It is the perfect starting point for any study of this period in African history. M.E. CHAMBERLAIN is Professor Emeritus at Swansea University.
