Review

'I have seldom read a book which introduced me to so many new things - to so many fresh topics and to so much new research by scholars, many of them young, as well as by established figures such as John Thornton and Robin Law... I found this book almost a course in African Studies in itself.' - Terence Ranger in African Affairs 'The editors provide an excellent introduction which outlines the entire history of African urbanism in eight tightly-written pages, explains the rationale of the book in the context of the "state of the art", and places the seventeen studies included here into their broader academic context.' - Anthony Lemon in English Historical Review '... will definitely be on my undergraduate African History reading list.' - David Dorward in ARAS
