Summary/Abstract: This brief article offers an overview of some of the major works of Gábor Búr in a similar manner as the volume entitled African History Stud-ies (II) does, by selecting several of his earlier publications via which many of his decisive attributes are revealed. Having spent two valuable periods in South Africa in 1990 and 1994, he became a leading academic on the history of apartheid, in particular, but South Africa and its peoples, in general, together with the broader context of the history of Sub-Saharan Africa. Among his 9 books, 63 book chapters and dozens of journal articles, several are considered as fundamental pieces in the Hungarian knowledge corpus on Africa. A true educator of many, Gábor Búr can always grab the attention of the various different audiences he has been engaging with. His new book of 600+ pages will certainly take its readers on yet another enchanting ride on African History.
