*Starred Review* As the editor notes in the introduction, while African societies have long recorded their history as oral tradition, the mature study of African history as an academic discipline developed after World War II and the end of the colonial period. The Cambridge History of Africa (1986) and the UNESCO General History of Africa (1998) have functioned as standard sources to consult for overviews. Encyclopedia of African History is the first multivolume reference set to be devoted to the history of the whole continent. Other fairly recent titles have had either a more limited geographical or chronological scope, such as the excellent Encyclopedia of Africa South of the Sahara (Scribner, 1997) or the more focused Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century African History (Routledge, 2002). The Encyclopedia of African Nations and Civilizations (Facts On File, 2001) is pitched to a lower student or popular level.
Over 300 authors, more than one-third of them African, have contributed close to 1,100 articles, most of which have further reading suggestions. The majority of the articles are about 1,000 words in length, with longer surveys of regions and broad topics such as Community in African society or Political systems. About one-third of the matter is devoted to ancient Africa through the eighteenth century, covering topics such as the Iron Age, the Songhay empire, and the Yoruba states. The remainder details the social, economic, and political history of each region and modern state, from the nineteenth century "scramble for Africa" through the colonial period to the postcolonial period to the recent past. There are entries on important modern cities as well as some biographical entries and articles on topics such as clothing and language.
