"This significantly revised edition of Africa South of the Sahara offers a critical interpretation of received ideas. Stock situates contemporary human development concerns about sub-Saharan Africa in their historical, cultural, and regional perspectives. A new chapter on the history of development thinking guides the book’s synthetic discussions of rural and urban economies and livelihoods, population and resources, and health. The prose is lucid and the arguments compelling. A highly accessible introductory text for courses on regional geography, development studies, and global studies." Thomas J. Bassett, PhD, Department of Geography and GIS, University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign, USA
