Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - FW: H-Africa: New History textbook for West African high school students

History has indeed been reinstated, thanks to the persistent effort of Professors Ogbogbo, Okpeh, and other courageous colleagues in the Historical Society of Nigeria, who lobbied successive governments until that egregious error was corrected.

Thanks for sharing this resource so that our children may learn more about our background even if they are not taking WASC while we refresh our memories. History was my best subject: A1. Shame that one country in West Africa has banned the subject in high schools.

Greetings Toyin Falola,
A new item has been posted in H-Africa.

New History textbook for West African high school students

by Vincent Hiribarren

Dear all,

We are launching today a new History textbook for West African students taking West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) History Paper 1, "West Africa and the Wider World from Earliest Times to 2000". This free resource covers all the current syllabus, as well as including two chapters (11. Women, Gender and Political Authority; 12. The Environment in West African History) which – it is hoped – might be later added. The authors (Nwando Achebe, Samuel Adu-Gyamfi, Joe Alie, Hassoum Ceesay, Toby Green, Ben Kye-Ampadu and Vincent Hiribarren) hope that this content will allow secondary school students to gain a good overview of West African history as their syllabus defines it, and at the same time contribute to new debates.

Best Wishes,

Vincent Hiribarren
