A thread on Martin Meredith's "The Fate of Africa"

The book covers 50 years of African history after the beginning of independence from colonial powers. A fascinating study of black governance. Most colonies were never "colonized" in any real sense.

10 million Nigerians were ruled by nine European administrators, alongside just 3000 African troops with European officers.

Some excerpts from the 1972 book 'Race War in Highschool' written by a union organizer/ teacher about the conditions brought about by integrating New York schools, the amount of racial conflict basically brought education to a halt. Out of print and rare on the open market. Page talking about one of many school riots, this one spilling out to the streets, bad enough that white students went home to get their guns and shot over the heads of rioting blacks pursuing them.
