Books in the Eyes Books Series series

Volume 1 begins with the African past, focusing on the ancient kingdoms of both East and West Africa and continues through the coming of the Europeans and the African colonial experience, concluding with the rise of nationalism in which Africans struggle to regain their freedom from the Europeans.

In Volume 2 of Through African Eyes, we are introduced to African societies and cultures in all of their richness and diversity. Coming of age, family values, changing gender roles, rites of passage, the search for identity in a modern world, and many other aspects of African life are skillfully woven into a coherent narrative under the overarching themes of continuity and change.
