The pages on Africa summarize research done in 1972-73 for a doctorate from New York's Columbia University, "Growth and Violence in the Precolonial Sudanic Belt," 1975. It was based on all material published by that time, particularly accounts of explorers in West Africa. I also consulted the archives of Paris, Abidjan, Dakar, Bamako, Wagadugu and Accra, conducted interviews in those towns and in Segu (Mali) and did three months of field work in Djimini (Ivory Coast).
The thesis was published as Croissance économique et violence dans la zone soudanienne in "Guerres de lignages et guerres d'état en Afrique," ed. Jean Bazin and Emmanuel Terray, Paris, Éditions des Archives, 1982, pp. 423-500, translated by Emmanuel Terray.
