		African history as a modern academic discipline came of age in the 1950s, the decade of African nationalism that saw the parallel emergence of African institutions of higher education on the continent.
		Covering the history of the continent as a diverse whole-with complementary and competing cultural forces from north to south and east to west-reflects the direction toward which contemporary scholarship of African history has moved in recent years.
		The encyclopedia takes a broadly African viewpoint of the history of the continent, where this is appropriate, and as far as possible provides the reader with a reliable, up-to-date view of the current state of scholarship on the full range of African history.

	Eat Healthy. Live Happy. - Africans: The History of a Continent (African Studies)
		This history of Africa from the origins of mankind to the South African general election of 1994 refocuses African history on the peopling of an environmentally hostile continent.
		The social, economic and political institutions of the African continent were designed to ensure survival and maximize numbers, but in the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations these institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen.
		The history of the continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to the earliest human ancestors.

		Continents can grow when two plates collide, welding, or accreting, the two pieces together.
		Continents also grow when oceanic crust is scraped off oceanic plates as they sink in subduction zones.
		The purple area fringing the stable continental core is made up of older Precambrian basement that was deformed during plate collisions that occurred within the last 600 million years.

		The continent is bounded on the north by the Arctic Ocean, on the west by the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea, and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
		There are numerous islands off the continent’s coasts; Greenland and the Arctic Archipelago, the Greater and Lesser Antilles, the Alexander Archipelago, and the Aleutian Islands are the principal groups.
		Of greater impact on the subsequent history of the continent were Christopher Columbus’s exploration of the Bahamas in 1492 and later landings in the West Indies and Central America, and John Cabot’s explorations of E Canada (1497), which established English claims to the continent.

		Although no one is certain, it is generally agreed that Aboriginal people first arrived on the continent from southeast or eastern Asia at least 50000 years ago.
		They were the sole inhabitants of the island continent until 1788, when a boat from England arrived at what is Sydney Harbour.
		The boat was full of convicts and many of the first white settlers were prisoners who had been banished from Britain and sent to the "the side of the world" for the rest of their lives.

	Reviews in History: Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century
		Mazower's geopolitical coverage of the European continent is remarkably wide-ranging, reaching to countries which are often neglected in general surveys but without sacrificing necessary concentration on the major international players.
		Neither is the book popular history, since it implicitly presupposes at least a basic knowledge of the events and developments of twentieth-century Europe yet plays down the historical elements of personality and drama.
		In this respect, Dark Continent could not, for example, be recommended as a first-year student textbook, though its value to brighter students later in their undergraduate careers is indisputable.

		Thousands of schools don't have history classes that focus on Mexican, African-American or Native American culture - three of several minority groups that had a significant impact on the shaping of this country.

	Europe: A history
		In tackling the history of the continent, Davies brings to bear his own expertise in Polish history, to forcibly drag the center of gravity of his subject East.
		The intended reader is obviously someone who has some knowledge of history of the traditional kind, and this is most obvious in the post-period sections where his coverage is obviously directed against historiographical controversies that have raged in modern newspapers.
		In fact, in some ways, the whole coverage of history is spotty, due to Davies' attempts to portray history in all its messiness and to make an engaging storyline with minimal imposition of theoretical perspectives on the subject.

		Eventually, the teaching and practice of African history did lead to major contributions to the discipline of history, making the reliance on cultural contextualization, oral evidence, and archaeology much more routinely acceptable since the last third of the twentieth century.
		The entire history of a continent is still often taught in one or two semesters.
		Recent scholarship in African history demonstrates that it is often necessary to weave together the work of several scholars, writers, or artists in order to achieve the goal of chronological depth.

	Table of Contents: Writing Early American History
		They also breached the too-common distinction between social and political history: among Taylor's noteworthy contributions to his field has been his success at casting conventional political history in its wider social context and, by the same token, demonstrating the political dimensions of social processes and conflicts.
		Instead, Taylor provided a sweeping history of the North American continent, its adjacent oceans and islands, its arrays of indigenous, settler, and enslaved peoples, and its subjection between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries to a succession of imperial ventures — Spanish, Dutch, French, and Russian, as well as English, and ultimately American also.
		Good history, in Taylor's book (as in Taylor's other books), must make room for the perspectives of the men and women whose stories are being told: there must be some indication that the argument being advanced might have made sense to people in the past.
