A groundbreaking, sweeping overview of the great kingdoms in African history and their legacies, written by world-leading experts.
This is the first book for nonspecialists to explore the great precolonial kingdoms of Africa that have been marginalized throughout history. Great Kingdoms of Africa decenters European colonialism and slavery as the major themes of African history and instead explores the kingdoms, dynasties, and city-states that have shaped cultures across the African continent. This groundbreaking book offers an innovative and thought-provoking overview that takes us from ancient Egypt and Nubia to the Zulu Kingdom almost two thousand years later. Each chapter is written by a leading historian, interweaving political and social history and drawing on a rich array of sources, including oral histories and recent archaeological findings. Great Kingdoms of Africa is a timely and vital book for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of Africa's rich history.Languages:EnglishPublisher:University of California PressISBN-13:9780520395671ISBN-10:520395670UPC:9780520395671Book Category:HistoryBook Subcategory:Africa, WorldBook Topic:NorthSize:9.50 x 6.30 x 1.30 inchesWeight:1.5Product ID:SCDJB56CBA
