USA Africa Dialogue Series - New Book from Yale Falola and Njoku

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!!
