The second edition of A History of Sub-Saharan Africa continues to
provide an accessible introduction to the continent's history for
students and general readers. The authors employ a thematic
approach to their subject, focusing on how the environment has
shaped the societies and cultures of the African peoples. The text
demonstrates how the geography, climate and geology of Africa
influenced the rise of states and empires, the emergence of the
trans-Atlantic slave trade, the European conquest and the creation
of independent African nations. Yet the book maintains a focus on
the peoples whose creative energies built unique communities and
traditions within the challenging context of the Africa landmass.
In the process of reconstructing this continent's rich history, the
authors analyze the contentious scholarly debates that have emerged
from this field. The book is illustrated with photographs, maps and
sidebars that feature the salient points on either side of the
debates.
