Answer 1

"How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" is a book written by Walter Rodney in which he portrays the view that Africa was deliberately exploited and underdeveloped by European colonial regimes.

Rodney argues that a combination of power politics and economic exploitation of Africa by Europeans led to the poor state of African political and economic development evident in the late 20th Century.

Answer 2

Jarrod Diamond in his book "Guns Germs and Steel" had some interesting theories about why colonialism wasn't as successful in equatorial Africa.  Basically, Southern Africa had a climate similar to that of Europeans.  As they moved north, their habits and livestock no longer gave them an advantage over the indigenous people.
