the economic history of a desert,
This review is from: The Golden Trade of the Moors (Hardcover)
This excellent book deals with the commerce that took place across the Sahara Desert between the Arab/Berber states to the north and the Black states to the south. This is an esoteric subject but Bovill knew his stuff, and the reader finds out all sorts of interesting things that one could never find anywhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A rare gem indeed,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Golden Trade of the Moors (Oxford Paperbacks) (Paperback)
As a student of history, I've been exposed to quite a few books about certain regions, social movements, nations etc. This is, hands down, my favorite history (one of my favorite all around) texts ever! I like to read; but I don't love to read and this book was an absolute page-turner!Also, we are rarely exposed to the knowledge of all the great societies that have flourished in Africa outside of Egypt. Most educated Americans probably cannot name even one of the sophisticated empires described in this book. It's a sad fact and a huge academic disfavor. Overall, it's a great read for anyone who likes vivid detail, human saga, informative non-fiction and geographic exploration all in one. Phenomenal book!
