Description

Explore the transformative period of African history with The Scramble for Africa from the Routledge Seminar Studies series. In 1870, only one tenth of Africa was under European control. By 1914, almost the entire continent had been divided by European powers, leaving only Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and Liberia independent. This book provides a clear and concise account of the twenty-year period known as the scramble or race for Africa. Author M.E. Chamberlain offers a classic overview that challenges outdated perspectives. The text contrasts the Victorian image of Africa with the reality of African civilization and history. By examining detailed case histories ranging from Egypt to Zimbabwe, the book explains how European powers carved up the continent with little to no consultation of the people living there. This work is an essential resource for students and readers interested in world history and the background of the African continent.
