Histoire De L'afrique Du X1xe Siecle Le Siecle Des Revo
"Presses Universitaires de France and Frmeaux & Associs offer this history of nineteenth-century Africa, analyzed and explained by Anne Hugon, a senior lecturer at Paris 1 Panthon-Sorbonne University and a specialist in Africa. Contrary to preconceived ideas about the past and the peoples of the African continent, who are said to have remained on the sidelines of history, Anne Hugon offers a presentation that re-establishes the facts, namely those of a plural, diverse Africa that was once open to the world. The historian retraces the continent's history in the 19th century, which is not limited to European takeovers: she reveals an extremely complex 19th century in Africa, marked by major political revolutions, with the emergence of new states; and by economic and cultural revolutions, notably with the rise of two monotheisms, Islam and Christianity.
