People Making History by Peter S. Garlake Book PDF Summary
Two titles complete the four-part series of African history, told by Africans from an African perspective. Recommended for schools in Zimbabwe, the series represents a reclaiming of history from the distortions of Eurocentric teaching. Book 3 covers pre-capitalist modes of production in Africa; early merchant capitalism in Africa; growth of industrial capitalism in Europe; revolution and socialist transformation; and capitalism in crisis. Readers are encouraged to think critically and read the source material included. In addition to giving attention to the great people in history, the book focuses attention on the ordinary men and women: peasant farmers, workers, mothers, and children. The "people's voice" is heard through direct quotations. Book 4 covers colonialism and resistance; Zimbabwe under colonial rule; revolution and transformation; and world ant-imperialist struggles.
