From the exodus of early modern humans to the growth of African
diasporas, Africa has had a long and complex relationship with the
outside world. More than a passive vessel manipulated by external
empires, the African experience has been a complex mix of internal
geographic, environmental, sociopolitical and economic factors, and
regular interaction with outsiders. Peter Mitchell attempts to
outline these factors over the long period of modern human history,
to find their commonalities and development over time. He examines
African interconnections through Egypt and Nubia with the Near
East, through multiple Indian Ocean trading systems, through the
trans-Saharan trade, and through more recent incursion of
Europeans. The African diaspora is also explored for continuities
and resistance to foreign domination. Commonalities abound in the
African experience, as do complexities of each individual period
and interrelationship. Mitchell s sweeping analysis of African
connections place the continent in context of global prehistory and
history. The book should be of interest not only to Africanists,
but to many other archaeologists, historians, geographers,
linguists, social scientists and their students."
