Summary "The Continent of the Future: Africa and Its Wonderful Development" by Coppinger is a historical account written in the late 19th century, specifically around the year 1881. This book explores the potential and evolving state of Africa, focusing on various aspects such as exploration, gold mining, trade, missions, and the broader development of the continent. Coppinger presents Africa as a land poised for significant advancement and integration into the global economy due to colonial interest and the interplay of commerce, science, and religion. In the book, Coppinger emphasizes the ongoing exploration of Africa and the various colonial efforts by European nations, particularly France and Portugal, which are expanding their territories and establishing new trade routes and communications. Throughout the text, the author highlights the immense untapped resources of Africa, including agriculture and mineral wealth, while also addressing the complexities of the slave trade and the emergence of religious movements. The text serves as a portrait of Africa at a transformative moment, balancing between indigenous growth potential and colonial ambitions as it steps toward a promising future.
