O knihe
- There is no other short book that explains African history and historiography.
- Concrete histories and stories are used to build a picture of both the continent`s past and how that past has been interpreted in Africa and beyond.
- Africa has been known as `the cradle of mankind`, and its recoverable history stretches back to the Pharoahs. But the idea of study of `African history` itself is new, and the authors show why it is still contested and controversial.
- Important themes include the unity and diversity of African cultures, slavery, religion, colonial conquest, the diaspora, and the importance of history in understanding contemporary Africa.
- Examines questions such as: Who invented the idea of `Africa`? How is African history pieced together, given such a lack of documentary evidence? How did Africa interact with the world 1,000 years ago?
