-David William
Cohen, Lemuel A. Johnson Collegiate
Professor of African Anthropology and History The University or Michigan
These are magnificent essays What this collection shows with great power and verve
is that starting early in the last century Africans constructed their own historical accounts
using various methods frameworks, and analytical tools. It adds a dimension to our
understanding of the African past
—
and the Atrican understanding of the Atrican past
—
that is long overdue.
