Review

"Carefully edited and represents a great variety of points of view." -- Choice

Robert Collins, Professor Emeritus of African History at the University of California at Santa Barbara and a distinguished expert on the history of the Southern Sudan. Collins' wide variety of publications... stands as proof of his capacity to write insightfully--over a career spanning more than forty-five years--on general as well as highly specialized topics. Professor Collins established his reputation with The Southern Sudan 1883-1898: A Struggle for Control (1962), his revised Yale PhD disserta-ion, and reaffirmed it with Shadows in the Grass: Britain in the Southern Sudan, 1918-1956 (1983). Alone or with collaborators, Collins has also written or compiled a number of volumes intended for undergraduate survey courses in African history, particularly his Problems in African history: The Precolonial Centuries, now in its third edition. --World History Bulletin Vol. XXII No. 1
