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.

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
