Kingdoms arose during the early centuries of the Common Era across
a wide region of West Africa. A rich source of information about
West Africa is available in the Arabic sources written by
geographers and chroniclers in the Muslim world between the 8th and
the 15th centuries. In this volume are the actual primary sources
upon which much modern knowledge about the kingdoms of Ghana, Mali,
Kanem-Borno and their neighbors depends. Here is the story of the
conversion of the western Sudan to Islam, as well as accounts of
the famous medieval gold trade, testimonies about the pilgrimage of
Mansa Musa, and insightful introductions to many other less
familiar personalities, activities and events.
