Ancient Africa : a global history, to 300 CE

by Christopher Ehret

This history of Africa from 70,000 BCE to 300 CE explores the continent's pivotal role in the technological, agricultural, and economic transitions of world civilisation. It challenges the marginalisation of African history, proposing a reshaped framework for the ancient world.
