Know about the book -

Understanding Contemporary Africa is written by April A. Gordon and published by Lynne Rienner Pub. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1555878504 (ISBN 10) and 9781555878504 (ISBN 13).

April Gordon (sociology, Winthrop U.) and Donald Gordon (political science, Furman U.) present a textbook written for use in introductory undergraduate courses on Africa. Chapters overview themes of politics, economics, international relations, demographics and disease, the environment, family and kinship, women and development, religion, and literature. One chapter is devoted to a more detailed examination of the history of South Africa. For the most part, the essays support the viewpoints of t he former colonial powers and the international monetary institutions on African history and development and it is likely that many African academics and political activists would suggest that this book would lead more to misunderstanding contemporary Africa.
