* Places a greater focus on African agency, especially during the colonial encounter
* Includes more in-depth coverage of non-Anglophone Africa
* Offers expanded coverage of the post-colonial era to take account of recent developments, including the conflict in Darfur and the political unrest of 2011 in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya
