Description
“Africa – History of a Continent” is a book lavishly illustrated with beautiful pictures of Werner Forman which presents a vivid picture of African culture from the earliest times to the year 1960. This is not Africa AIDS, genocide, or crushing poverty. Davidson described and Forman brilliantly illustrates the achievements of African civilizations such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Great Zimbabwe, and trade of the states of East Africa. After telling the disastrous effects of the European-American slave trade and colonialism following, the author ends with hope for the newly independent countries. Excellent manual supplement for African studies in history and culture.
