The African Middle Ages covers the period of African history from
1400 to 1800. During this period Africa was influenced by external
forces as the Islamic states of the north extended their sway and
as maritime trade with Europe and Asia increased. The notorious
slave-trade created the black population of North and South
America, the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean islands. The authors,
however, emphasize the extent to which Africans dealt with
outsiders on equal terms. The peoples of Africa were coalescing
into tribal states rather like those of early medieval Europe.
These states were often capable of providing a high degree of law
and order, of exploiting resources and organising trade; of
redistributing the products of local industries, and of defending
themselves against outside attack. Though eventually subordinated
by the colonial conquests of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, the tribal states of pre-colonial Africa
continue to exert a powerful residual influence upon the
post-colonial states of modern Africa.
