African Urban Spaces in Historical Perspective Edited by Steven J. Salm and Toyin Falola

Today half of all Africans live in urban areas. Villages are growing into towns, and towns are rapidly becoming cities. This project offers broad and varied analyses of the history of African cities in the last 150 years, and is key to understanding the urban present. Introduced by the doyenne of African urban history, the chapters in this innovative volume deal with multiple dimensions of African city life from Morocco to Zimbabwe and from Somalia to Namibia. Dennis D. Cordell, Department of History, Southern Methodist University and Département de Démographie, Université de Montréal

The volume leaves the reader with a powerful sense of the complexity of Africa's urban spaces. I found something new and engaging in virtually every chapter. Clive Glaser, University of the Witwatersrand, AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW
