Description

With his focus on precolonial Africa, Christopher Ehret provides in The Civilizations of Africa: A History to 1800 a remarkably complete and original overview of African history during the long periods sparsely covered in most other general histories of the continent.

He examines African inventions and civilisations from 16,000 BCE to 1800 CE from the northern tip of Tunisia to the Cape of Good Hope in the south. Logically organised by topic and era, Ehret's heavily illustrated and easily accessible text reveals the diversity of African history.

It explores the wide range of social and cultural as well as technological and economic change in Africa, and it depicts African agricultural, social, political, cultural, technological and economic history in relation to developments in the rest of the world.

Designed to address the glaring lack of texts concentrating on Africa before 1800, this book can be fruitfully combined with histories of Africa since 1800 to build a full and well-rounded understanding of the roles of Africa's peoples in human history.
