This monograph deserves to be read and examined carefully. It provides valuable knowledge for those already familiar with the history of Africa and the challenges the continent is facing in combating underdevel-opment and colonial domination. However, this work is also indispensable for those eager to discover the “vigorous” African continent, its natural potential, cultural, identity, and porlitical diversity. The fact that this book, demonstrating a deep understanding of African realities, is the work of an interdisciplinary group of specialists, is something that deserves to be strongly emphasized. It is commendable that pure academic research is accompanied by a cross-disciplinary perspective from the fields of political science and diplomacy.
