Strong comparative analysis - By: Oli, 10 Jun 2006
Nugent's comparative framework is very helpful as it alllows his text to provide a clear overview at an alll-Africa level while also giving space to depth local analysis. A strength of this history rests in its scope as cultural & social comment is located within discussions of political or economic history. During the opening sections of 'Africa Since Independence' Nugent also provides a stimulating survey of theoretical & historiogaphical debates, hence bringing his analysis into dialogues with debates raised by postcolonial, developement or globalization theories.
