Description

The Scramble for Africa by Routledge examines one of history's most transformative periods, when European powers rapidly colonised an entire continent between 1870 and 1914. In just four decades, Africa's colonial status reversed dramatically - from 90% independent to 90% under European control. This Seminar Studies volume provides a clear, concise overview of how European nations carved up the continent with minimal consultation of African peoples. M.E. Chamberlain's classic analysis challenges Victorian misconceptions about Africa by contrasting outdated European perceptions with contemporary understanding of African civilisation and history. The book presents detailed case histories spanning Egypt to Zimbabwe, offering readers essential context for understanding this pivotal period. Ideal for students and historians seeking to comprehend the colonial foundations of modern Africa and the geopolitical strategies that shaped the continent's trajectory.

Key Features

The Scramble for Africa covers the 1870-1914 period when European powers rapidly colonised the African continent within approximately 20 years.

M.E. Chamberlain contrasts Victorian-era European images of Africa with contemporary historical knowledge of authentic African civilisation and societies.

This Seminar Studies edition presents detailed case histories from Egypt through Zimbabwe, illustrating the varied experiences across different African regions.

The book examines how European colonisation occurred with little consultation of African inhabitants, revealing the exploitative nature of the scramble.
