The History Of African Development : An Online Textbook for a New Generation of African Students and Teachers

The History of African Development is published by the African Economic History Network (AEHN). This book aims to draw experts in the field of African History, Economics and African Development Studies together around an open access textbook. The book is intended for teachers and undergraduate students at African universities, but also for an interested public audience. The chapters describe and explain various aspects of historical African development trajectories in plain English language. All chapters include a list of suggested readings, data sources and study questions to test student’s comprehension. By offering this book in an open-source (CC BY) environment, the AEHN seeks to facilitate a wider diffusion of the knowledge that is generated within its academic network and to support capacity building among a new generation of African historians and development practitioners.
