Designed as a textbook for the undergraduate and graduate levels.
There has long been a need for a new textbook on West Africa's
history. This comprehensive collection brings together leading
scholars on key themes from West Africa's prehistory to the
present. It discusses various disciplinary approaches to West
African history, provides overviews of the literature on major
topics, and breaks new ground through the incorporation of original
research. Part one provides perspectives on West Africa's history
from archaeology, ecology and culture, linguistics, and oral
traditions. Part two provides longue duree perspectives on
environment, society, agency and historical change. Part three
examines how economic and political developments haveshaped
religious expression and identity in significant ways. At the end
of each chapter is a short list of recommended reading. EMMANUEL
