History: A Very Short Introduction

A Very Short Introduction

2000 || Paperback || John H. Arnold || Oxford University Press

There are many stories we can tell about the past, and we are not, perhaps, as free as we might imagine in our choice of which stories to tell, or where those stories end. John Arnold's Very Short Introduction is a stimulating essay about how we study and understand history.

2008 || Paperback || Herodotus || Oxford University Press

While much of the information he gives has proved to be astonishingly accurate, he also entertains us with delightful tales of one-eyed men and gold-digging ants. This readable new translation is supplemented with expansive...

Africa's Long Road Since Independence

The Many Histories of a Continent

2024 || Paperback || Keith Somerville || Van Ditmar Boeken B.V.

Over the last half century, sub-Saharan Africa has not had one history, but many. Histories that have intertwined, converged and diverged. They have involved a continuing process of decolonization and state-building, conflict, economic problems but also progress and the perpetual interplay of structure and agency.

This new view of those histories looks in particular at the relationship between territorial, economic, political and societal structures and human agency in the complex an...
