Review of the first publication:
‘…the book should be…adopted as essential preliminary reading for sixth-form, college or university students who are going on to more systematic studies of the continent… The book is a must for all who want to go on to study Africa in more detail or who simply want a guide to some of its complex problems.’
— D Hilling, Geography, Volume 63, issue 4
