Summary, in English
The History of African Development aims to draw experts in the field of African History and African Development Studies together around an open access textbook for African teachers and undergraduate students. The textbook is reaching out to all African and non-African scholars willing to contribute a concise chapter (ca. 5000 words). The chapters describe and explain various aspects of historical African development trajectories in plain English language to students with limited background reading. All chapters include a list of suggested readings and a number of study questions to test student’s comprehension. By offering this material in an open source environment the textbook seeks to facilitate a wider diffusion of the knowledge that is generated within our academic network and support capacity building among a new generation of African historians and development practicioners.
