Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-08 00:00:00 Steve Johnson I really enjoyed this overview of East African history. Though I lived in East Africa for many years as a child and returned many times as an adult to do research, I still found that I learned a lot from this book. The book consists of 18 chapters, usually about 15 pages long, and most chapters include very good maps. It is especially good on the settlement of East Africa by different linguistic groups. After these excellent chapters, it looks at the impact of Arabs in the country and the German and English colonial administrations. The chapters at the end are not as strong as they bring out what was current in 1968. I did feel that in so many ways this book helped me understand the big picture of East African history in a very clear way.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-04 00:00:00 Adam Black Each chapter is a different author, and the quality varies. D.W. Cohen's section on the River-Lake Nilotes is excellent, as are the numerous maps.
