This new revised edition of African Civilizations re-examines the
physical evidence for developing social complexity in Africa over
the last six thousand years. Unlike the two previous editions, it
is not confined to tropical Africa but considers the whole
continent. Graham Connah focuses upon the archaeological research
of two key aspects of complexity, urbanism and state formation, in
ten main areas of Africa: Egypt, North Africa, Nubia, Ethiopia, the
West African savanna, the West African forest, the East African
coast and islands, the Zimbabwe Plateau, parts of Central Africa
and South Africa. The book's main concern is to review the
available evidence in its varied environmental settings, and to
consider possible explanations of the developments that gave rise
to it. Extensively illustrated, including new maps and plans, and
offering an extended list of references, this is essential reading
for students of archaeology, anthropology, African history, black
studies and social geography.
