Reviews
"A timely volume that teaches us as much about the contruction of academic politics as it does the development of African studies. It provides useful if brief histories of the field in Africa, Europe, and North America, and stakes out likely parameters of future debate." -- James R. Brennan, International Journal of African Historical Studies "Africans are diverse, and those studying them must be diverse. Out of One, Many Africas is a book that recognizes this diversity and creates the push for the beautiful transformation of African studies. This book should be on the reading list of every scholar and educator interested in African studies." -- Festus A. Obiakor, MultiCultural Review ADVANCE PRAISE "An extremely interesting and engaging set of essays that offers a very lively series of critiques and alternatives to current African studies formulations."-David Wiley, president, African Studies Association "This unique and trailblazing work is sure to stir wide interest in the field of African studies and beyond."-Gerald Horne, author of Race for the Planet: The U.S. and the New World Order
