Sík Endre: The history of Black Africa 2. - The history of Black Africa 2. (Budapest, 1966)

E. Sík THE HISTORY OF BLACK AFRICA Vol. II Even in this age of radical changes of ours few areas of the globe stand so much in the centre of interest as does the effervescent African continent. Yet, the desire expressed practically everywhere in the world for more in­formation on the past of that continent has not been satisfied by the works pub­lished so far, which instead of recording the history of the peoples of Africa me­rely described that of the colonization. The eminent Africanist,Prof. Endre Sík is the first to discuss the real history of Black Africa; he treats about four fifths of the entire continent, describes the evolution of the African peoples, their centuries-old struggles for free­dom, and reveals colonization for what it was. This is an objective and valuable history book; a political do­cument conceived so as to re-establish historical truth. The present volume deals with two periods of the modern history of Black Africa: the first covers the first three decades of the 20th century, the second the years from 1918 till 1939.
