Summary: An Inside View of Africa
Comment: This is perhaps the most insightful history of Africa that has been written in less than 300 pages. Moreover, it reveals a view of Africa as seen by Africans as well as by outsiders. The narrative line that runs from the glories of the West African kingdoms to the post-independence period of the 20th century is interwoven with firsthand accounts by Africans that make for compelling reading.

Summary: Africa From African Perspectives
Comment: An update of a much earlier edition, this volume is useful when examining African culture, political and social history. The author makes studying about Africa a personal experience for youngsters because he provides several perspectives on African 'rites of passage' that American teens can compare with significant events in their own lives. What is especially nice, the author has chosen a variety of written material. He has included interviews, poems, and essays (some autobiographical), which gives the reader a break from reading after document.

Also important, Mr. Leon has surveyed a wide variety of ethnic groups from every corner of the vast African continent which gives ther reader an opportunity to appreciate similarities and differences between African peoples.

The book is illustrated with discussion-provoking black and white photos, and includes maps, a bibliography, notes and an index. Terms from African languages are defined in the text, but a glossary would have been nice.
