SPECIAL COMMENDATION in Africa's 100 Best Books of the Twentieth
Century. The series is illustrated throughout with maps and black
and white photographs. The period covered by Volume 3 is dominated
by two movements of major and lasting significance in the history
of Africa: the influence of Islam in the north and west,
interacting with traditional African culture; and the Bantu
expansion in the south. The book first places Africa in the context
of world history at the opening of the seventh century. Detailed
chapters follow discussing the successive Islamic dynasties, the
Christian Nubia, the civilizations of the savannas, forests and
coast of West Africa, the Horn of Africa, the East African coast
and interior, Central Africa, Southern Africa, and Madagascar's
internal development and international contacts. The three
concluding chapters trace the African diaspora in Asia, examine
international relations and the spread of technology and ideas, and
assess the overall impact of the period on African history. The
series is co-published in Africawith seven publishers, in the
United States and Canada by the University of California Press, and
in association with the UNESCO Press.
