520 1 _a"Sub-Saharan Africa assesses both the positive and negative environmental effects of human activities, ranging from the impact of colonialism to the modern day problems of urbanization, globalization, and conservationism. Readers will learn how environmental factors have impacted historical events, such as the nineteenth century 'Scramble for Africa' and the ongoing tensions between conservationism and environmentalism. Sub-Saharan Africa is a presentation of the past, present, and future of the continent that gave birth to the human race."--BOOK JACKET.
