This book is about history and the practical power of language to
reveal historical change. Christopher Ehret offers a methodological
guide to applying language evidence in historical studies. He
demonstrates how these methods allow us not only to recover the
histories of time periods and places poorly served by written
documentation, but also to enrich our understanding of
well-documented regions and eras. A leading historian as well as
historical linguist of Africa, Ehret provides in-depth examples
from the language phyla of Africa, arguing that his comprehensive
treatment can be applied by linguistically trained historians and
historical linguists working with any language and in any area of
the world.
