Dear members,
I am an instructor of sociology in a Canadian university. I am
developing a second year course on peoples of Africa (please see below a
précis of the course). I would appreciate any suggestions of textbooks
and others reading resources that cover issues and themes relating to
pre-colonialism, colonialism and post-colonialism in sub-Saharan Africa.
Given that it’s a second year course, an all encompassing textbook
covering different issues and topics in the subject area would be ideal.
I want to use two key textbooks, with one being “general” and the second
being “particular”. I have found a very good one for the latter, which
is Falola’s highly acclaimed memoir, “A Mouth Sweeter than Salt”. Any
ideas of comprehensive textbooks on the general aspect would be
appreciated. Thank you.
You can send suggestions via the listserve or directly to me at:
afroe...@hotmail.com

PEOPLES OF AFRICA
A survey of the principal cultures of sub-Saharan Africa with an
emphasis on social and cultural change as a result of colonialism,
urbanization and nationalization.

the analyses rigorous, informative and extremely accessible to students
(as well as policymakers). By the way, the texts are still quite timely!
The third one is also a gem, but I will let you decide since I am one of
the contributors to that edited volume.
Good luck. John Mukum Mbaku

For treatment of the link between political theory and literature in a
work by an African writer see SONG FOR THE SUN INUS. Ask Google for a
peep..
