Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Drawing from a wide array of historical records, this book provides a sobering account of the aggressive actions of European nations in their subjugation of Africa during the 19th century. The author argues that the events and political contexts of this time led to the formation of sub-Saharan national borders, creating nations that were not reflections of African realities, and which did not respect the wishes or needs of the people. The book analyzes the social engineering employed by European nations as they divided up Africa, including the imposition of western-style governance, the manipulation of existing power structures, and the introduction of tribalism to facilitate indirect rule. In doing so, the author argues the process forced the erasure of shared histories, and tribal and ethnic affiliations that were not based on actual descent. The consequences of this political map-making are still very much in evidence today, as many countries in Africa continue to wrestle with the socio-economic and political problems that came about due to these arbitrary and unnatural state formations. This book is an eye-opening account that provides critical insights into how the continent's modern-day realities took root.
