Book 2: The Impact and Limitations of Colonialism commissioned by The Department of Education

Turning Point 2 focuses on the imposition of colonialism and explores its impact on African societies. Colonialism is often viewed as an overwhelming force that devastated Africa. However, it is equally important to highlight the various ways in which Africans shaped colonialism. This is not to deny the negative impact of colonialism, but to show that its power was contested and that it transformed Africa to varying degrees over time.
