Reviewers Hailed the Fate of Africa as one of the decade's most important works on Africa when it was first published. Now author Martin Meredith has revised this classic history to incorporate important recent developments, including the Darfur crisis in Sudan, Robert Mugabe's continued destructive rule in Zimbabwe, controversies over Western aid and exploitation of Africa's resources, the growing importance and influence of China, and the democratic movement roiling the North African countries of Tunisia and Egypt.
Titel: The state of Africa : a history of the continent since independence

Sammendrag: The fortunes of Africa have changed dramatically in the fifty years since the independence era began. As Europe's colonial powers withdrew, new states were launched amid jubilation, but soon became mired in corruption, violence, and warfare. Meredith examines the numerous issues Africa has faced in the past half-century, focusing on key personalities, events, and themes since the independence era.
