Description

An Economic History of West Africa by Routledge serves as the foundational and standard account of the economic development within this vast region. This pioneering work provides a deep look into the history of territories formerly under French and British colonial rule, offering a comprehensive perspective that remains essential for students and historians alike. The narrative spans from prehistoric times through to the era of independence. Rather than accepting common assumptions about economic backwardness, this book presents an alternative explanation for the specific poverty patterns seen in the pre-colonial period. It examines how the region interacted with the rest of the world and the lasting results of those global connections. Whether you are researching African economic structures or studying the impact of colonialism, this text offers a clear and rigorous analysis. It moves beyond simple narratives to explain the complex economic configurations that shaped the West African landscape throughout history.
