[edit] About the article

This article is based on an the result of an assignment in module A in African studies at the University of Trondheim, Norway. The assignmnet could be translated to: "Discuss the links between urbanization growth and politics in the colonial and postcolonial Africa"

I have tried to adapt it somewhat to Wikipedia and added the precolonial part, but it quite certainly needs a lot more work especially with:

• Language: This is a rough translation from a rough paper, much work needed.
• Figures/tables: Made by Openoffice, adjusted by me, needs wikification and major facelift.
• Figures not included: Maybe I'll provide some kind of list.
• Formatting references.
• Wikipedia adaptation: NPOV, etc.
