| Abstract: | After introductory chapters on the 19th century, the A. concentrates on the colonial period, and especially on economic, social and intellectual change among Africans as the core of this colonial experiance and the basis of their political behaviour. Particular attention is paid to the consequences for small-scale societies of their incorporation into the international order; the impact of capitalism and the emergence of capitalist relationships and attitudes; African attempts to defend and reform indigenous institutions and to organise movements of protest or revolt against European control; the successive formation and dissolution of a specifically colonial society; and the effects of economic change on Tanganyika's ecology in modern times. |
