Thomas Pakenham The Scramble for Africa

The Scramble for Africa by Thomas Pakenham is the story of how European powers divided Africa between themselves in the late nineteenth century.

Africa’s modern history — from the age of empire to independence and beyond — is a story of conquest, resistance and renewal. This book looks at that history through the peoples and states that lived it.

Key themes include:

• Empire, partition and resistance
• Independence and the new nations
• Conflict, borders and identity
• Africa’s place in the modern world

Who should read it: readers interested in African history and the modern world.
