Dear colleagues! Could you recommend books or comprehensive articles on the impact of railway building on African societies? Especially social implications. Both colonial and postcolonial times.
Timothy Chukwumah Onwuzulike
To get a sub-regional perspective of the impacts of Railways and other aspects of colonial-driven developments in the West African sub-region, Elizabeth Isichei's "History of West Africa", chapter on "Colonial Developments" is a good headstart. Of course, UNESCO's General History of Africa gives a more nuanced view that covers all parts of the continent.
