Introduction To African Civilizations

The book challenges all the standard approaches to African history and will, no doubt, disturb a large number overnight "authorities" on Africa who will discover that they do not really know the depth of African history and the role that Africans played in creating early human societies. In its panoramic view, from the dawn of prehistory to modern resurgent Africa, Introduction to African Civilizations challenges the parochial historian, devastates the theoretical pretensions of white supremicists, expands intellectual horizons. It is a fascinating book to be read and reread for pleasure and knowledge by the layman and the scholar.
