I realized as a West African(Liberia) I don't know so much about West African history. I've read Kwame Nkrumah: the Father of African Nationalism, but I'd like more. Looking for a book, a series of books, or just multiple books not in series, that show a picture of Africa in pre-colonial times(as much as possible), colonial times, and modern times.

Writing on witchcraft and its interaction with Christianity also welcome.

Thanks

Oh and I'm not looking for any New-Age writing where the natives are elevated by the weird racist sentiment of the 'noble savage'.

Honestly I'd like some recommendations on that too. And it'll probably help the thread get going.

Have you picked up the unesco general history of Africa? A great deal of most of the volumes has lots of info on west African cultures
