            Abstract

            Two recent books by Basil Davidson constitute ‘a summary and perspective’ on his work on Africa, the whole being arguably unrivalled as a contribution to the cause of liberation and the reclamation of an African voice in history. This review assesses Davidson's liberation history and his evaluation of the central problems of nationalism and the nation‐state in contemporary development.

            The Black Man's Burden: Africa and the Curse of the Nation-State by Basil Davidson, London: James Currey; New York: Times Books, 1992, pp. 355, £9.95 pb (ISBN 0-85255-700-0).

            The Search for Africa: A History in the Making by Basil Davidson, London: James Currey, 1994, pp. 373, £11.95 pb (ISBN 0-85255-714-0).
