metadata.value: The article analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of Soviet university textbooks on the
  new history of Asian and African countries. The emphasis is on presenting the history
  of the countries of the African continent in them, which is the scientific novelty of this
  study. Consideration in the article of three generations of textbooks, prepared mainly
  by scientists of the Moscow school of orientalists, allows us to conclude that this type
  of educational literature played an important role in the formation of knowledge of
  students of the former Soviet Union in African studies, the study of which in universities
  was subordinated to the general tasks of the development of Soviet oriental studies. It
  can be considered a merit of Soviet Africanists that for the first time in world science
  they began to consider African peoples as the subject of a historical process; as part
  of the world revolutionary movement; in the fact that they put forward new topics for
  their research work: questions of the disintegration of traditional society, the formation
  of classes, the forms and methods of colonial expansion and the organization of the
  struggle for social and national liberation. The material presented in the textbooks on
  the history of the Black Continent is characterized by the breadth of coverage of events,
  the depth and originality of the disclosure of the problems of the history of Africa. Textbooks
  are supplied with illustrations, maps, chronological tables. The shortcomings include
  the ideological orientation of educational literature for higher education, with an
  emphasis on the colonial policy of European countries and forms of protest against
  “colonizers and exploiters”; insufficient attention to the issues of ethnography, demography,
  spiritual life, culture and art, traditional crafts and way of life of African peoples,
  which remained outside the field of view of the authors.
