The Hopkins book is over 20 years old, but is still the most
original synthesis on the subject. Also good is Ralph Austen,
*African Economic History* and Paul Tiyambe Zeleza's volume on the
*Economic History of 19th century Africa*, pulbished by CODESRIA in
Dakar, it is not as widely distributed as it should be.
