Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience
this is a nice book but with an obvious bias towards US history, none the less expertly written and well researched.

History of Africa
by Kevin Shillington
From Library Journal
This work is written from an African perspective e.g., "Alexander of Macedon (known in European history as Alexander the Great)" and is geared to secondary students (it comes complete with questions). It attempts to emphasize developments affecting the lives of "ordinary" people, from the beginning evolution of humankind up to the present, although post-independence Africa receives but 18 pages (and the bibliography lists only 30 items). Nevertheless, this is a good, well-written introductory text, although some might consider a number of its views, based as they are on the latest trends in scholarship, to be controversial (e.g., South African whites are referred to as "settlers"). Recommended.
- Paul H. Thomas, Hoover Inst. Lib., Stanford, Cal.
