| Summary: | This book provides a wide ranging history of Africa from earliest prehistory to the present day. Much African historiography has been about writing Africa for Europe without writing Africa for itself, as itself, from its own perspectives. This book redresses that by letting the perspectives of Africans themselves take centre stage. It uses the cultural, social, political, and economic lenses of Africa as instruments to illuninate the ordinary lives of Africans. The result is a fresh new survey that includes a wealth of indigenous ideas, African concepts, and traditional outlooks that have escaped the writing of African history in the West |
