Krátky popis
An essential overview of great kingdoms in African history and
their legacies, written by world-leading experts.From the ancient
Nile Valley to the savannas of medieval West Africa, the highlands
of Ethiopia and on to the forests, lakes and grasslands to the
south, African civilizations have given rise to some of the world’s
most impressive kingdoms. Yet Africa’s history is often little
known beyond the devastation wrought by the slave trade and
European colonial rule. In this groundbreaking book, nine leading
historians of Africa take a fresh look at these great kingdoms and
empires over five thousand years of recorded history.How was
kingship forged in Africa and how did it operate? Was dynastic
power maintained by consent or by coercion? Did kings – and queens
– display and project that power for all to see, or did they hide
it away, as beneath the fringed crowns that concealed the faces of
sacred Yoruba rulers? In what ways have African peoples themselves
recorded, celebrated and critiqued the deeds of their kings? Great
Kingdoms of Africa explores some of the most important questions in
the continent’s deep past.
