A groundbreaking book that puts early and medieval West Africa on
the map of global history Pick up almost any book on early and
medieval world history and empire, and where do you find West
Africa? On the periphery. This pioneering book tells a different
story. Interweaving political and social history and drawing on a
rich array of sources, Michael Gomez unveils a new vision of how
categories of ethnicity, race, gender, and caste emerged in Africa
and in global history. Focusing on the Savannah and Sahel region,
Gomez traces how Islam's growth in West Africa, along with
intensifying commerce that included slaves, resulted in a series of
political experiments unique to the region, culminating in the rise
of empire. A radically new account of the importance of early
Africa in global history, African Dominion will be the standard
work on the subject for years to come.
