Description

Explore the complex history of African economic development with this scholarly work from Routledge. Originally published in 1986, this title examines how economic factors influenced the decisions made by Britain and France regarding the independence of their Black African colonies. It provides a deep look into why early hopes for rapid and sustained economic growth across the continent often failed to meet expectations. This book offers a broad perspective on a massive historical subject. By pulling together material from most parts of Black Africa south of the Sahara and north of the Limpopo, the text allows readers to see the larger patterns of arrested development. It is an essential resource for those studying the historical relationship between colonial economic policy and post-independence outcomes in Africa.
