Description
West Africa: An Introduction to Its History, Civilization and Contemporary Situation Eugene L. Mendonsa ISBN 9780890896495
This introductory text explores the history, social structures, and contemporary realities of West Africa. It examines the major challenges facing the region today, including limited economic development, dependence on wealthier nations, weak governance, military involvement in politics, corruption, and the struggle to establish stable democratic institutions. At the same time, the book highlights how indigenous West African civilizations developed traditions rooted in humanitarian values, communal cooperation, and democratic practices. These traditional political systems and ancestral customs are presented as potential foundations for addressing many of the region’s modern challenges.
The book is organized into three main sections: “The Setting and Social Organization,” “The History of West Africa,” and “The Modern Era.” Through these sections, the text aims to deepen students’ understanding of the richness and complexity of African civilization and demonstrate how its historical principles may help guide solutions to current social and political issues. Mendonsa emphasizes that understanding Africa’s past, cultural traditions, and belief systems is essential to addressing the difficulties facing West Africa today.
A companion Teacher’s Manual supports the text with chapter outlines and summaries, key discussion points, sample questions, and recommendations for relevant films and websites to enhance classroom learning.
