Avrupalilarin üstün olma söylemlerine gölge düsüren bu iddia 1950lerden sonra yapilan arastirmalarla dogrulandi. Dünya üzerindeki kara alaninin beste birinden daha büyük bir alani kaplayan, elli dört egemen devletiyle sasirtici bollukta farkli insan, etnik yapi, toplum ve din sergileyen Afrika ayni zamanda, bu sansli yapisina ragmen tarih boyunca dünyada en fazla aci, aclik, hastalik ve ölümün yasandigi kita oldu.Kisa Afrika Tarihi, tarihöncesi Afrikada insanligin dogusundan 2011deki Arap Baharina kadar bu muazzam kitanin tarihine öz bir giris sunuyor.

Köle ticareti, Sahra alti Afrikanin Avrupalilar tarafindan igal edilip sömürgelestirilmesi, Afrika Talan ve nihayetinde bu sömürge düzeninden kurtulmak icin verilen aci ve zorlu mücadeleleri ustalikla anlatan Kerr kitabin sonunda yirmi birinci yüzyil Afrikasi icin bir degerlendirmede bulunuyor.
