Book Reviews of Africa (3rd Edition)
Book Review: Good for Study
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good book to use if you are studying African culture and development. The authors write in a readable style, and also do a good job of seemingly keeping their opinions out of the book. Every section is backed up with facts. Lots of graphs and pictures. This book is slightly outdated, as it lists Zaire as a country, but it is still, by far, the most comprehensive text that I have read on the cultural developments of Africa as a whole and of more specific groups.
