TL;DR: The field has never been entirely dominated by one genre of work, and here we have examples of two very distinct classes of reflection on African towns: general studies of 'urbanization', very much social science rather than history and thus characteristic of the great bulk of writing on towns so far; and a clutch of studies of particular towns, mostly not the work of scholars who call themselves'historians' but nonetheless much more definitely drawn towards a historic treatment as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the essays contain little new information about, or discussion of, either the technical aspects of warfare in Black Africa (for example, strategy, tactics, armament) or the political and diplomatic factors which precede wars and which bring them to an end.

TL;DR: This article found these texts most interesting as accounts of current views of the past: i.e. as primary data for the cultural and political history of Nigeria in the late 1970s.

TL;DR: In this article, Nzula's own analysis foreshadows much of the current discussion on the development of capitalism in South Africa, and is worthy of attention also because of its intrinsic interest as a historical document and, thanks to Cohen's researches, as a frame for the beginnings of a neglected South African radical.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of missions in Africa, focusing on seven Africans, now studying for higher degrees in the U.S.A. The schools described are Roman Catholic in Angola/Zaire and Uganda, Presbyterian in Ghana, Evangelical in Sierra Leone, Lutheran/ Methodist in Liberia, Adventist in eastern Nigeria and Lutheran/Dutch Reformed in Rhodesia; each account is prefaced by a helpful editorial introduction.
