Synopsis

Medieval Africa, 1250-1800

About this title

Review:

'Another authoritative survey ...' History Today

'... this is an excellent work of synthesis.' History

'... this book gives an excellent survey of a period in African history which is still relatively neglected in comparison with the colonial period. In particular, scholars and students of Africa who wish to explore how Africa's internal dynamics have been shaped by and responded to natural environment and its position in a wider world of socioeconomic and cultural contacts, may find this book extremely useful.' South African Historical Journal

'The volume betrays a high level of scholarship associated with the names of both authors, and it will surely find its readership among students and the general public as an introduction to African history.' Asian and African Studies

Book Description:

A radically revised version of The African Middle Ages 1400–1800, and the companion volume to the authors' well-known Africa since 1800 (now in its fourth edition). It takes African history from about 1250 AD to the period of early European contact from the 15th century onwards. It will be useful for introductory courses in colleges and universities.
