A Quick History of Africa (Quick Histories)

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Want a short, entertaining but informative history about the mysteries, the surprises and the wonders of Africa's history? Then read on.

Quick Histories: Whole Histories You Can Read in An Hour Or Two
The history of Africa is often little known to lovers of history. We often know little or nothing of Africa's great past apart from perhaps Ancient Egypt or colonialism. But Africa's history is rich and surprising, full of glittering civilisations, in touch with large parts of the world, a history of great builders, warriors, intellectuals and merchants. This is a book for those who want to find out something new, something surprising, even something genuinely challenging about what we think we know about the history of our world - and indeed of our selves. In A Quick History of Africa, learn more about:
Ancient Africa - not just the Egyptians, but the great civilisations of Nubia, Axum and Carthage, which sometimes overshadowed their neighbour on the Nile
Medieval Africa - far from a Dark Continent, empires such as Mali, with its sophisticated capital Timbuktu and legendarily rich kings, were among the most glittering civilisations of their day
Modern Africa - we know a great deal about slavers and colonialists, but what did the Africans think of the arriving Europeans? And how did they finally throw off European rule?

This is a fascinating history, full of surprises. Scroll up and grab a copy today.
