James C. McCann provides a synthesis of evidence and a narrative of Africas evironmental history over the past two centuries. In a book readily accessible to undergraduates and nonspecialists, Professor McCann argues that far from being pristine and primordial spaces, Africas landscapes were created by human activity. This argument contrasts strongly with the idealized notions of an African Eden commonly held in the West and in Africa itself. It also confronts more recent alarm about degradation of Africas natural and human resources by examining the historical evidence of environmental change. Key topics within the book are the effects of population growth, disease, agricultural change, the state of natural resources, and the changing role of the state in how Africans have managed and changed their own landscapes.

As a college student majoring in environmental studies, I found this book invaluable. The timeline from 1800-1990 was covered thoroughly. Plus, the case studies were particularly enlightening. Highly useful for academic references!

Informative but Dense at Times
I appreciated the depth of information provided in this history. However, some sections felt a bit heavy and could have used more storytelling to keep me engaged. It's worth a read if you're really interested in Africa's environmental issues.
