Wrigley provides a thoughtful and challenging analysis of the economic aspects in chapter 2, and the two major religions. Christianity and Islam are similarly presented in chapters 3 and 4 by Richard Gray and C.C. Stewart respectively. Most praise, however, goes to Andrew Roberts, who has not only provided skilful editorship, but two general chapters which cannot have been easy to write, since few historians are given to making worthwhile generalisations ranging over a whole continent. But he has been bold enough to take on the task, and has produced in chapter 1, on the Imperial mind, a caustic but judicious assessment of the impact of imperialism in Africa ]
