Rezension zu „North Africa: A History from Antiquity to the Present “
"Naylor's approach is innovative, his research thorough and balanced, and, most importantly, he exhibits an exceptional empathy for the peoples and cultures of the region whose history remains little understood in the United States. This is a work of exceptional insight that deserves the widest circulation possible." John Entelis, Professor of Political Science and Director, Middle East Studies Program, Fordham University "In North Africa, Phillip C. Naylor neatly profiles the imperial incursions of (among others) Britain, Italy, France and Spainomoving from east to west across the continent's northern edgeobut he avoids a blame-it-all-on-the-19th-century approach in favor of the historian's long view. His book serves as a readable introduction to North African history, morphing along the way into a handy refresher course on a substantial part of Africa and of the Arab-Islamic world...a task well done, a solid history of a region with whose conflicts we-not to mention the Sahrawis and their neighbors-are fated to contend for at least a few years still." Roger Kaplan, The Wall Street Journal, 10th Aug 2009
