(4) YA Exploration of Africa: The Emerging Nations series. Giving the history of these countries or regions under European colonial rule and what is known of tribal history prior to colonization (Egypt covers only the 1700s to the present), the books in this series delve into Africa's political and ethnic background. Archival black-and-white photos, though fascinating, form a separate narrative unconnected to the text. Maps and a time line are included. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Exploration of Africa titles: Angola, Egypt, West Africa.]
