Welz's analysis of the Africa continent, to an extent, accords agency that is so often denied by scholarship originating from the Global North. Whatever one thinks of Welz's broader arguments, this is an important book that captures a political history to date and will be essential reading for many years to come.' Toni Haastrup, University of Stirling 'Martin Welz's book is like a mosaic: from up close you see all the details and differences, from geography and history to the defining personalities of the African countries once shaped by colonial despotism. When you have finished reading the book however, if you step back, you'll recognize the underlying connections and structures. Anyone who wants to understand the history and politics of Africa since decolonization and get to know this diverse continent should read this book.' Horst Koehler, former President of the Federal Republic of Germany 'A compelling account of the history and politics of the world's second largest continent during the half century since independence. African actors are front and central to this story - shapers as well as subjects of national and international politics. Welz asks the big questions and offers a big picture, while skirting simplistic generalizations. Essential reading for those who wish to understand the past in order to build a better future.' Elizabeth Schmidt, Loyola University Maryland Author InformationMartin Welz is Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Hamburg. He is the author of Integrating Africa: Decolonization's Legacies, Sovereignty and the African Union (2012) and numerous articles on conflict management in Africa, the relations between the African Union and the United Nations, Africa's role in the world, and on the impact of former liberation fighters.
