The book covers various aspects of the lives of the peoples of Africa in the post-colonial era, such as domestic life, economic activities, intellectual pursuits, material culture, political power, leisure, and spiritual engagements. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis addition to the \u003ci\u003eDaily Life through History\u003c\/i\u003e series recognizes the anguish of previous experiences of colonial rule while simultaneously commemorating the optimism and liveliness of the present and future of Africa.
