The Making of Contemporary Africa:

The Development of African Society Since 1800, 3rd ed.

Bill Freund
Paperback: $35.00
ISBN: 978-1-62637-576-5
This comprehensive yet accessible text critically traces the complex trajectory of African society, culture, economy, and politics across more than two centuries.

Appearing nearly two decades after the previous edition was published, the third edition of The Making of Contemporary Africa has not only been revised throughout, but also includes two entirely new chapters: one specifically on the twenty-first century and one on postindependence cultural and social history.
The late Bill Freund was professor emeritus of economic history at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
