The Last Frontier: The White Man’s War for Civilization in Africa is a non-fiction book written by E. Alexander Powell. The book explores the history of European colonialism in Africa, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Powell examines the motivations and actions of various European powers, including Britain, France, Germany, and Belgium, as they sought to establish colonies and exert control over the African continent. The book also delves into the experiences of African peoples during this time, including resistance movements and the impact of colonialism on traditional societies. Powell argues that the European colonial project was driven by a desire for power and profit, and that it had devastating consequences for African peoples and cultures. The Last Frontier is a comprehensive and detailed account of European colonialism in Africa, drawing on a range of primary sources and historical accounts. It provides a critical perspective on the legacy of colonialism and its ongoing impact on African societies. The book is recommended for anyone interested in the history of Africa, colonialism, and the impact of European imperialism on the world.1919. With sixteen full-page illustrations and map.
