This is a history of Africa south of the Congo Forest from about
A.D. 1000 to the era of the establishment of independent modern
states. Most textbooks on African history are dominated by modern
political boundaries that, of course, have no ethnic or
geographical validity. This book is unique in that it treats the
whole of Southern Africa as a unit because important historical
events such as the Bantu, San and Khoikhoi migrations, long
distance trade routes, the Mfecane dispersal and the journeys of
white adventurers among others, make a nonsense of categories such
as 'South' and 'Central' Africa. The book presents much of the work
of contemporary researchers in a simpler form than in other
scholarly books thereby reflecting a complete picture of the early
history of South and Central Africa. A variety of illustrations
that include maps, photographs, drawings and diagrams have been
used effectively throughout the book.
