This volume covers five hundred years of history, beginning with
the writings of travelers Ibn Battuta, Leo Africanus, Mungo Park,
Heinrich Barth, Rene Caille, and Mary Kingsley, as well as many
others. Religious wars are described by chroniclers such as Abd
Allah ibn Muhammad and Al-Kanami, Sire Abbas Soh, and Ahmadu
Hampate Ba. The trans-Saharan and cross-Atlantic slave trades are a
central concern of the book and the French and British colonial
periods are also scrutinized. Modern times are examined in the
texts of Nnamidi Azikiwe, Leopold Senghor, Sekou Toure, and Kwame
Nkrumah. Special emphasis is placed on original African texts about
political traditions, independence movements after WWII, the law,
and other themes of social and political history. The African
History in Documents series also features: Volume II: Eastern
African History and Volume III: Central and South African History.
