| Description: | This book gives serious play to ancient history right across the continent and it ties these areas into the currents of wider world history. Chris Ehret has skillfully woven archaeology and linguistics into the historical narrative to provide a text from the deep past until 1800. This really does fill a gap. Other general suveys focus on the last two centuries. |
| Key Points: | "It is a triumph for the author, and it is a clear statement of the immense quantity and high quality of work that has been done in the study of early Africa over the past fifty years. This clear and comprehensive interpretation of Africa will be the volume from which the early history of Africa will be rewritten in all the college and high school texts on world history" Patrick Manning, Northeastern University |
