In response to the query by David Robinson.

Yes, reprint or revise the *Sources of the African Past*. It is one
of the most useful books I know of for upper level African History.
The use of the documents allows students access to the "raw material"
of history. I use it to show them the difference between the
predigested work of historians and the materials they use to write
history.
