Acknowledgements
This book is the result of unlimited effort from various individuals and institutions. The topics and themes came from an enriching brainstorming and back-and-forth communication and conversation between Toyin Falola and Martin Shanguhyia. Most important, we are grateful to the contributors to this volume who were willing to share some perspectives on how certain topics have been essential to the development of modern African history. They spent their invaluable time making endless revisions to their chapters under time constraints. Our constant communications and conversations were more rewarding than an inconvenience to all involved. We would also like to thank Amy Katherine Burnette, then a Dissertation Fellow at the Humanities Center at Syracuse University, and Thomas Jefferson West III, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, Syracuse University, for the endless hours they spend editing the chapters.
