+# The History Of African Development : An Online Textbook for a New Generation of African Students and Teachers
+
+The History of African Development is published by the African Economic History Network
+(AEHN). This book aims to draw experts in the field of African History, Economics and African
+Development Studies together around an open access textbook. The book is intended for teachers
+and undergraduate students at African universities, but also for an interested public audience. The
+chapters describe and explain various aspects of historical African development trajectories in plain
+English language. All chapters include a list of suggested readings, data sources and study
+questions to test student’s comprehension. By offering this book in an open-source (CC BY)
+environment, the AEHN seeks to facilitate a wider diffusion of the knowledge that is generated
+within its academic network and to support capacity building among a new generation of African
+historians and development practitioners.
