Ali Al'amin Mazrui byl akademický a politický spisovatel, který se zaměřoval na africká a islámská studia a vztahy mezi Severem a Jihom. Jeho práce zpochybňovala zavedené ortodoxie a kritizovala západní intervencionismus a vykořisťovatelský kapitalismus. Mazrui byl průkopníkem v propojování léčby Palestinců s apartheidem a zkoumal kompatibilitu islámského práva s demokracií. Jeho vlivná práce se snažila pochopit africkou identitu a její místo ve složitém globálním uspořádání.






Africa has moved from international conflict under foreign domination to struggles for political sovereignty and economic independence. Looking at the changes in Africa's fortunes since 1935, this volume examines the challenges of nation-building and socio-cultural changes affecting the continent. The series is co-published in Africa with seven publishers, in the United States and Canada by the University of California Press, and in association with the UNESCO Press.
The hardcover edition of volume 8 was published in 1994. This paperback edition is the eighth and final volume to be published in the UNESCO General History of Africa. Volume 8 examines the period from 1935 to the present, and details the role of African states in the Second World War and the rise of postwar Africa. This is one of the most important books in the entire series, and as such, it is an unabridged paperback.
