| Abstract: | An overview in which the author breaks down the continent regionally, north and south of the equator, and explores themes such as independence or dependence of action among the diverse and changing societies which lived within these regions. The reasons for the partition were, the overall evidence suggests, results of shifts in the international balance of power and of trade amongst the European states rather than changes within Africa itself.
