- More about A Tapestry of African Histories: With Longer Times and Wider Geopolitics
In A Tapestry of African Histories, contributors demonstrate that African historians are reevaluating African history through a geopolitically transcendent lens, bringing African countries into conversation with other pertinent histories within and outside the continent. The collection analyzes the pre- and post-colonial eras in African countries, examining major historical figures, events, struggles for independence, and contemporary urban settlements, social and economic development, and constitutional, legal, and human rights issues.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Lexington Books
In a rich tapestry of African histories, contributors unveil a compelling narrative that challenges the notion of studying continental or global geopolitical, social, and economic events across the mere superficial divide of time as if they existed in isolation or disconnected realms. Instead, the chapters within this volume redefine African history by adopting a geopolitically transcendent lens, seamlessly integrating African countries into a broader dialogue with other pertinent histories both within and beyond the continent. The collection delves into the intricate tapestry of pre- and post-colonial eras within African nations like Kenya, Malawi, and Sudan, exploring the lives and legacies of significant historical figures, the arduous battles for independence and stability, the vibrant urban landscapes, the remarkable social and economic advancements, and the enduring constitutional, legal, and human rights challenges that originated during the colonial era and continue to shape the continent today. Through a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, this volume offers a profound exploration of the complex interplay between geography, politics, and history, shedding light on the rich and diverse narratives that shape Africa's past and present.
