Congratulations to Professors Falola and Njoku for this very necessary work. It comes out at a time when scholars are beginning to focus or re-focus on Africa-US relations. I know that in the fall an African American scholar's book on the relations between Nigeria and African-American civil right leaders during the civil war will be released. With Falola and Njoku's book and others in the offing, a new generation of scholars and students studying Africa-USA relations will have good fodders for their intellectual cannons. 

 

On a less serious note, the title of this new book makes me smile. Who else will write a book on US-Africa relations than the one who started and manages USA Africa Dialogue Series? Hey, you never know, one day this forum will feature as a chapter in a book on USA-Africa relations by some scholar. Or should I say Africa-USA relations as many Western journalists are wont to do when reporting about relations between their countries and the rest of the world. They almost always put their countries' or continent ' name first.  

 

This thought of our entries on this forum making it to a book sent shivers down my spine. All our good, bad, and ugly arguments will be scrutinized by some young scholars gunning for tenure and he/she will take us to the cleaners. Do not mind me, be your normal self. Moses Ochonu will tell you history is not made by people who avoid daily fights, quarrels, or struggles.  

 

Once again, congratulations to TF and Njoku for this important and thoughtful work.

Congratulations to Falola and Njoku - New Book Hot from Yale

 

Yale University Press has announced the publication of United States and Africa Relations, 1400s to the Present. This comprehensive history of the relationship between Africa and the United States by Professors Toyin Falola and Raphael Chijioke Njoku covers over 600 years of history from the dawn of the trans-Atlantic slave trade to 2019. The broad, interdisciplinary narrative follows the relationship's evolution, tracking African American emancipation, the rise of African diasporas in the Americas, the Back-to-Africa movement, the founding of Sierra Leone and Liberia, the presence of American missionaries in Africa, the development of blues and jazz music, Decolonization and the Cold War dynamics in Africa, the presidency of Barack Obama, China in Africa, and more. The style and contents are a rich fare.

Finally, those looking for a complete treatment of Africa and African Diaspora history have found their heart desire in a single scholarly work. If you research and teach African history, African American history, Africana studies, American history, American Studies, African Diaspora studies, and so on, you and your students will love it.

Scholars, students, policymakers, politicians, activists, Americans, Africans, and others will talk about it for a long time. My Congratulations to Toyin Falola and Raphael Njoku!!

 

Andrew A.
