"In The African Revolution, I examine Africa’s long, global nineteenth century, an era of revolutionary ferment and violent creativity for African states, societies and economies. I argue that the decades preceding what became known as ‘The Scramble for Africa’ between the 1870s and the 1910s have for too long been neglected, oversimplified, or even ignored altogether in favour of a focus on the imposition and construction of European colonial rule" - Richard Reid
