Colonialism in Africa : A 4 page paper discussing the
book, "African Perspective on Colonialism," by A. Adu Boahen. In this book we
get a very unique view of the circumstances that existed during history in regards to

numerous others address the African perspective, Boahens book in illustrating the
African viewpoint, also brings into account the European perspective in a way that bridges
gaps yet remains true to the African people. An interesting aspect of the book which
addresses the effects of colonialism in Africa ventures to examine what Africa may well
have been like today, had the colonization never taken place. An interesting book that
gives the reader yet another perspective of the colonization of Africa. No additional

social favors. The concept of the Big Man is only one that remains with the rapid
