From my personal library, most of which were acquired from my college days back in the 90s. I was a history major and took one course in African history, which was required, but it was quite involved (a lot of reading and writing). My professor was an excellent teacher, very intelligent, and never hinted at any of his political ideology. He later become my adviser for my honors thesis. He spent considerable years in Africa as the child of Christian missionaries, graduated from Baylor and completed his PhD at Northwestern University. Last I checked, a few years ago, he was still there at my alma mater as associate dean for humanities. The first title listed I acquired in post school adulthood.
