Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is an unusually compelling and impressive history of the cultures, societies and polities of a major region of the world before the advent of formal colonial rule."An immensely valuable introduction to the pre-colonial history of West Africa [...] which deserves to be widely earmarked as essential by the drafters of reading lists." English historical review, 1999

Product Description
This is a survey of the development and history of the societies and culture of West Africa until c.1850 when European imperialism put an end, temporarily, to the story. The narrative accounts of a number of the major empires of West Africa are set in their broad context, illuminated by the findings of cultural historians and anthropologists. West Africa was the centre of the slave trade and most of the populations of the African diaspora in the US, the Caribbean and Latin America came ultimately from this region
