This book is actually written by my college teacher at Wayne State University. It is something that is a short read with so much information that you would never know without living the situation or being a true historian. Being a US citizen much of what we are taught in highschool is the horrible slave trade that the US was invloved in but this goes into how it became the situation it was and how Africa never really had a chance to create their own society because they were being controlled from so many different countries and used in so many different ways. If you really want to learn more about African history this is a very quick but very informational read and from knowing the author it really is an amazing point of view to hear him speak about his countries history and can fill in spaces that I know was left out of my high school teaching -- and I was in a very good highschool with high ratings.

As for the person who sent it to me thank you for sending it so quickly and in the condition that was perfectly described. When you are a history major getting your books quickly and in good condition is so important!
