Om boken: "In 1945, only four countries where independent; by 1963, thirty former colonies , created the Organisation of African Unity. Dispite formidable problems, the 1960s where a time of Optimism as Africans (.......) prepared to tackle their political and economic problems in their own way. By the 1990s, however, dictatorship by strong men, corruption, civil wars, genocide, widespread poverty, and the interventions and manipulations of Africa by Western powers had relegated Africa to the position of the world´s poorest and least developed continent. Arnolds "In Africa. A modern History" brings a lifetime´s thought and expirience to these momentous years and asks if twenty-first-century Africa can promote its own recovery and renaissance. Arnold does not shirk the big questions."
