Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Understanding Contemporary Africa (Understanding: Introductions to the States and Regions of the Contemporary World) (Paperback)
This book gives a precise history about Africa, the authors also transition the structure from history to present day correlation. It will definitely put a dent in your thirst for historical as well as present day knowledge about Africa. However, what is most important is that the book seems to be majorly unbiased, not that I would be able to tell all the biases, but it is well written.

Contemporary Africa at Cal Poly Pomona,
By
This review is from: Understanding Contemporary Africa (Understanding: Introductions to the States and Regions of the Contemporary World) (Paperback)
"Understanding Contemporary Africa" has not been very useful in the context of Comparative African Politics at Cal Poly Pomona. While the text has interesting summaries about African politics and can help as an introductory resource, there seems to be far superior books. It is fairly easy to read and there is quite a bit of cursory information compiled for introductory insight, which makes it ideal for introduction or review of African politics. But do not expect thorough explanations of applicable theories that try to explain the roots of African modernity.
"Understanding Contemporary Africa" is a lot like a tour guide for college students with just enough information to get you into trouble. For PLS 442 at Cal Poly Pomona, Comparitive Politics of Sub-Saharan Africa, it is used little and discussed even less. It is possible to go without this book for Obazuaye's class.
